Toolcat drive issues

[lonscher]

2023 UW56. When traction control is on it spins the right rear wheel in relation to the other wheels and has trouble driving. When I turn off traction control the toolcat won't move at all or will barely move. Out of warranty. Any help much appreciated.

The first thing I would check is if any wires got pulled while driving through brush. Look beneath under the pass side door.

Thank you ruffdog, I'm heading out of town for a few days but will check that soon as I get back.

How do I check fault codes, and where are the rear wheel speed sensors located? The front is easy to find but I haven't located the rear.

When TC is turned on, the RR tire is trying to do all the work? That does sound like something is wacky with traction control. It would be interesting what it would do when off the ground on jack stands. Would 3 tires have the brakes on while one is spinning????

Yes, the RR tries to do all the work when TC is on. When I disable TC none of the wheels want to turn. I'll put it up on jackstands and try that and look for a wiring issue. It was mowing in some tall weeds when it happened so that's certainly a possibility.

The LR axle shaft is broken. The break is inside the boot so I didn't notice it. Now my problem (beyond the cost of the part!) is how do I get it back to the shop? It looks like they are not simple to tow. Can I turn off TC and have one person 'drive' it, while towing it with the tractor? I have to move it about 400 yards.

That should work. Let us know how it goes.

Sounds like a plan. Good luck.

seen them dragged on skids under the wheels such as steel sheeting
