Backup alarm on M59

mikester · Jan 10, 2021

I normally wear headphones operating the tractor. Two days ago I was driving without and suddenly noticed that I get the BEEP BEEP BEEP while driving forward AND reverse. The other oddity is that I suddenly have to apply the hand brake to start the tractor now.

Is the driving alarm normal and I've never noticed it before or do I have something going on I need to check out? No alarms on the intellipanel.

No my L47 only beeps backing up and I don't have to set the brake to start ,something is going on with your tractor........

I think I answered my own question - the hand brake issue was the swivel seat switch sticking.

Looking up the alarm circuit in the WSM, it's tied into the creep mode lever for backhoe use. I'm guessing I have another sticky switch I need to look into.
