My tractor is in for its 50hr inspection. The dealership is telling me everything is complete but they are waiting on a replacement loader control valve. It's already been a month so hoping they get a replacement before snow arrives. Warranty item. Not sure how/why it started leaking? I really...

My MT225S developed the same upper valve leak, just the other day. I was back-dragging some woodchips using the float position. No load on the bucket of note. Just started a steady drip-drip-drip while there was hydraulic pressure in the system. Mine is leaking from the red circle area and...

Coming up on a year with my 225S. I'm at 47 hours. The only issue I've had is a hydraulic leak from the the loader control valve. Annoying as my tractor really doesn't see a lot of heavy use. I was back dragging some woodchips on part of my lawn using the float-mode. Level ground and nothing to...

I ended up going with a Woodmax SB-60 blower. I looked at a couple of others but pickings were pretty slim in December. It weighs nearly 700 pounds so no traction issues, ever

I've noticed that the glow plug on-time does seem to vary by temp. Still no difference between turning the key to on or using the always on position (CWW turn). I've been cycling the plugs on 5-6 times prior to cranking. So far, it's never failed to fire up and we've had some weeks of below-zero...

From my local dealer re: my coil/GP question Hi Chris, you should see a coil light in the bottom right when you turn the key on, it should stay on for 15 to 30 seconds. If it just flashes on and turns off, they are not cycling properly, you can cycle the key on and off a few time to get enough...

Thanks for your reply It's 25 degrees here, this morning. Went out and wanted better describe what occurs with my tractor When I turn the key to the on position, the dash goes thru it's self-test (warning lights come on, fuel/temp gauges cycle, parking brake alarm cycles, GP light comes on for...

It was in the mid-20s here today. Turning the key to the ‘on’ position puts the cold start (GP) light on for about 1 second. Turning the key to the left and got the same result — on about 1 sec I’m probably just mistakenly expecting the GP light to be on continuously when turning the key to the...

Purchased my MT a few weeks ago. Now that it's getting colder, I had a few questions on cold weather starts. This is my first tractor so no prior experience with diesels. The manual is very light on info. "start the engine after operating the cold start aid indicator sufficiently" Given the...
