Deutz Fahr Agrotron 135 Mk3 doesn't start

[LukeLukas]

This occurred 2 days ago and since then have not been able to turn on the tractor. When you turn on the ignition everything lights up as it usually does, no emergency lights no errors, just doesn't start when you turn the key, the starter doesn't even click, there is nothing, no sound. Anyone might have any idea what could be the problem? Also, the tractor is newly bought for our farm, we have had it for literally a week.

PTO switch could be in on position.

Doesn't seem to be, just tried it multiple times, and now that everything was quiet, the starter seemed to click one time and that's it, Also this was the first time, but for some reason, while I was trying to turn it on, the ignition was in the run position and the speedometer started displaying random numbers as if I were driving it and then displayed "stop engine now" message on the dash even though the engine wasn't even on.

I would have the cover off the battery and give the leads and terminals a good clean
We had an agrotron and the clamps on the leads were next to useless, yours might be the same

I'll try it tomorrow and reply here if it worked, thank you

Have you tried to bridge the starter to rule out faulty batteries,connections and starter

The Battery is new, so that shouldn't be the problem, but going to try it anyway tomorrow.

Well at least if she starts then that eliminates those things so could be a relay, key switch or safety problem. Take it you have checked the fuses?

Checked all the fuses, they're all good, and yes, as I said, going to try to bridge the starter tomorrow

Ring dealer. Their problem.

Ring dealer. Their problem.

You probably misunderstood, the tractor itself is not new, we didn't buy it at a dealer, it's a 2002 model. And I'm mostly asking because the closest service center that deals with this brand is 120km away, which means I'd have to pay a couple hundred in transporting the tractor to a service center and just in case the problem turns out to be bad connection on wires or just something came loose, I'd be pretty mad at myself for wasting hundreds for basically something I could've done for free at home. It's the first time I've had this brand of tractor, so I don't know much about them to be able to diagnose why it's not starting so spontaneously, nothing was done to it, literally all we have done with it so far is pull out a stuck truck out of the snow, besides that it's been basically sitting in our yard, waiting for work.

Not knowing Deutz tractors but did go look at one once of a similar vintage in a main dealers yard. I couldn't get the sod to start no contact to starter rep got on started straight up said saftycontact on gearstick was a bit temperamental due to slap on gearstick. Worth a fiddle
