Problem with Starting New DK4510

[atsah]

Lets not muck up this guys thread anymore..

OP, I would let them take it and tell them you don't want it back until it works the way it should, if they aren't competent enough to diagnose it at least they can swap parts out and inadvertently fix it.. I would also have a rep follow up and make sure it gets fixed one way or another..

True
But lame remarks like you make "find a better brand" because 1 is having issues amplifies the problem.

Actually, NOT true, I did NOT denigrate, nor did I 'flame' anyone, nor did I call anyone the equivalent of stupid, an idiot and so on. If the poster's inference is that is what I was thinking, it's not what I was thinking or saying.

What I'd like to see for the OP's benefit in threads like this is advice that is helpful to the OP to fix their tractor. Brand bashing is NEVER helpful, nor is completely erroneous info like 'make them give you a new tractor' useful; why? Because no-one benefits from things that will NEVER happen.

So how about those who chose to contribute here do so with actual useful advice about how to solve the problems the OP is faced with?

And this kind of crap has what exactly to do with the OP's tractor issues? Exactly why you should leave this thread....you're proving my point.:duh:

OP, my apologies for adding to the nonsense in your thread..

I recommend my post #27 and #53.. And hope they fix your tractor quickly, there is no reason for any new tractor to have these issues. ALL manufactures have a tractor now and then get through with issues but when your the one that gets it, it isn't funny..

Wow. Lots of chatter here. After researching the pulsing problem half of the night, pretty sure the adjustment on the MLS valve is out of whack. There is a great video on YouTube that shows how to adjust the valve to get the bounce out of it. Looks like a simple thing to try before spending another $100 to have the dealer come and get it.

As far as the starting goes, gonna shoot some WD40 into the switch today and see if that helps. The tractor is stored under cover but it is still outside so I guess this could be a coincidental problem that is unrelated to the ECM failure.

Will let you know how it goes.

If these issues are anything other than simple, the tractor is gone. Quoting my wife, life is too short to deal with a f#$&@d up tractor.

Sounds like you are having numerous problems,
I'm not familiar with your particular tractor, but it sounds like a typical
issue with electronic controls, find your controller and get a tube of dielectric grease.
Find and unplug your connectors, grease them and re-connect them securely.
I have seen several instances of 3 pt bouncing being draft control issues, sensitivity and response with electronic controls and even on mechanical.
Repeat the above procedure on the connections for your draft controller, if possible disable draft control.
Or disconnect the draft sensor on the 3 pt.
The fancier equipment gets the more that can and will act up.
