throttle issues 2017 workmaster 60 4x4

[Turbys_1700]

I just wonder if this is an issue with the 60's? My 50 has had zero issues thus far. Watch it start to go nuts now.

Like you all I like the size, weight, ability, and FEL strength of the tractor. These issues are concerning to say the least.

Problem is all the new tractors are having electrical glitches it seems. My buddy just bought a 2018 5075e cabbed and has had JD out there twice in 13 hrs to fix electrical stuff.

Other than the amp drop and throttle sticking two times at 1500rpms I haven't had an issue and at 80 hrs now on mine. I'm hoping since it seems to be a common issue that CNH gets a permanent fix eventually, my dealer seems to think they will. I also told him about this thread and he told me to keep him in the loop if any comes up with actual way to resolve it.

New Holland, Deere, Kubota, they all seem to get a handle pretty quickly on issues. The service and parts manager at my dealership told me the other night that Kubota and New Holland were good at getting someone to help them. Issues they have pop up are fixed pretty quickly. Really they have had pretty good luck with both of them including Mahindra. The Mahindra's are more problematic with TYM and others making some of the models. Not necessarily from a reliability issue more than getting someone on the phone that can help them quickly from corporate.

Just a heads up for anyone who has the low voltage issue. My dealer mentioned to me to check my battery connection on the post, but I never had the low voltage come on after those two times I mentioned earlier. Well today my tractor lost power when I went to crank it, popped the hood and low and behold the negative connection was all but off the post. Simpliest things at times.

Sorry for the slow response.

I did provide my NH dealer the contact information for your dealership the last time they picked the tractor up for another problem with the neutral switch sensor, but they apparently didn't call for the information. They did replace a neutral switch sensor so now it aleast will start. I ended up by passing the seat sensor shortly after I bought. It wouldn稚 start no matter what seat position it was in, even all the way down. The dealership did replace a control module ( no idea what that is) thinking it would resolve the throttle problem, but it is still happening nearly every time I use it. Very frustrating to say the least! Im seriously considering trading it off for another brand. I can稚wait until until itｴa out of warranty to deal with these issues at my expense.

Out of curiosity, how do you run the tractor? Do you idke a lot, off and on the throttle, low RPM's loader work? Or do you get the RPM's up around 2000k + and work it?

I'm just curious because my tractor did it twice early in life (around 25hrs) and I thought about it and I remember idling and working it at low RPM's a good bit. Other than than that it's been worked and hasn't happened since with 112 hrs on it now.

I run it at normal RPM for general farm use. Typically at higher RPM痴. There痴 really no rhyme or reason as to when it goes into idle mode. Of course the dealership can稚 reproduce it.

The Workmaster series is virtually identical to the Case IH Farmall A series. Not surprisingly, this same throttle control issue is also common to Farmall A tractors (i.e. 50A, 60A, 70A). I have experienced it twice on a Farmall 70A in 27 hours. Apparently CNHI is pushing this issue off to their dealers. Farmall A and Workmaster owners deserve and should insist upon a permanent, well-tested, fix for this issue. If the root cause of this issue is in the ECU firmware then CNHI is going to have to get involved in the solution whether they want to or not.

I contacted New Holland Customer Service. I have to admit they were very responsive and did a great job with follow up. The first time I talked with the customer service rep the owner of the dealership was already attempting to contact me. That was 2 weeks ago. I finally got a follow up call from the dealership yesterday that they will be picking up the tractor to install a new software update. What is interesting was that the last time I used the tractor it was stuck on high idle, not low idle. Turning the key off and on cleared the high idle.
