The loader joystick all of a sudden flops outward and forward. It will still operate the loader, but the loader functions seem slow. Bought the tractor new last week of April 2006. I am a "novice" tractor owner, but was told by my dealer that the joystick can be damaged -- so we always enter/exit the tractor on the left and have been careful with the joystick. Are the joysticks very delicate? Will this break frequently in the future or is this an isolated incident, from other K120 owner's past experience?
I called my dealer and he is coming to pick it up and fix it (says he'd rather have it at the shop for this repair). I have approx. 44 hours on the tractor, so he will perform the 1st service on the tractor (since he will have it anyway, and it seems foolish to wait 6 hours). Is this too soon for the 1st service?
I am not sure I should ask him to inspect the loader for cracks -- it seems fine, but I have not taken off the rear access plate.
Other than a faulty seat belt (won't pull out, permanently retrated) and I can't get the radiator pre-screen to slide up, the tractor has been great.
Thanks for your help.
