First of all I posted this previously in the wrong area and have moved it here in hopes of additional responses from you members.

Just took delivery of a new L4060HSTC, factory 3rd functrion and all the cold weather CNY artic options (all defrosters, front & rear lights etc...) and have an issue with the master warning light (as named by the owners manual).

The light in question is a red triangle with an exclamation point within same and my problem is that although it is too warm to utilize the glow plugs at this time if I leave the key in the "On" (2nd click) position for more that 2-3 seconds while messing with the radio or what not, and then start the tractor the warning light will flash until shut down.

Now conversely if I start the tractor "like a car" and just hop in an turn the key starting same immediately the warning light never comes on. (it is about 60 degrees out today and glowplugs are obviously not needed)


I talked to three dealers and was told the following:

1) "Just start it like a car, no warning light no problem"
2) "Ignore it"
3) "The is the system telling you that you do not need to delay starting"


Bottom line is that I cant take a chance "ignoring" something or not correcting the issue with a $40K tractor!! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

That is the "Safety Alert" warning indicator.
On the Lxx40 series that warning indicator means there is a problem with the HST. Do you have an Operator's Manual?

I would not operate the Tractor any more than needed to get to the barn. Then call Kubota.
Maybe it's nothing more than a "buckle your seatbelt" alarm on your model.
Why risk causing more damage then necessary?
