Started to have issues with our Kuhn Axis 30.1 QE,
First off, over last couple of years one actuator ‘sticks’ and doesn’t open for a few minutes (control box says fault with actuator) and then tends to free up after a while (box then says actuator is fine), this happened this year when I put spreader on last week and I got it all working, fast forward to today and get into field with load of fert on and actuator doesn’t work, and after a lot of messing about, still won’t work.
Another issue that’s happened today was that speed reading on box dropped off intermittently, whilst the Patchwork was working fine.
All connections and wiring looks fine with no obvious faults.
Machine is 12 years old and starting to get some rust patches, is it worth it to potentially have to put a new actuator on (maybe even a wiring loom?) or should I be looking a for younger replacement?
