Hello Forum Folks,
I just purchased by very first tractor. I've never been around tractors before. It is a used 2017 Kioti NX 4510 with a hydrostatic transmission (L-N-M-N-H) and a cab.
I am reading the owner's manual which I do not find very helpful and watching YouTube videos to learn about the tractor. I drove it and it seemed to operate fine. Yesterday however, I had a problem happen. I had the tractor running but no attachments, I put it in the "N" position between L and M, I locked the parking brake, and stood up to get out of the cab. When I did, the engine cut off. I tried to start the tractor back up but it wouldn't turn over. When I turned the key, the dash lights would come on but nothing else happened.
I called the person that I bought the tractor from and he said, yeah, it did that to me sometimes. He didn't tell me that when he sold it to me...
He said move the range lever to another position and try to start it. I moved the lever to "M" and the dash showed "N". I turned the key and it started. YAY !
I drove it back to where I wanted to park it and put the lever in "N" again and when I stood up, it cut off again.
Is this some sort of calibration issue or is the transmission going bad?
It can't be good to continue to drive it like this. I don't know if I'm in Low, Medium, or High. I don't even know if I can get into High since I have to have the lever in M to get Neutral.
Does anyone know what is going on here?
I called the closest Kioti Dealer and they said to bring it in and let them check it out. I have a trailer but it won't handle this size tractor. I asked Kioti if they would pick it up and deliver it back and they asked how far away I was. I told them that Google Maps says 21 miles. They told me the pickup and delivery charge would be $300.00 + the cost of the repair.
Is there any other way to try to figure this out without taking it into the dealer?
Thank You!
