Hello everyone I have a question about my 6180. This morning I went out to do some work with it so when I turned on ignition all light were in dash as usual so I started the engine. Then I realise that the tractor is stuck in low box and there are no lights on the dash , no red green high low or no A B C D dyna lights. The tractor is driving forward and back in low box. I checked the red and yellow feeds under the step at ecu and I have power at both and I checked the switch under the high low gear stick and it has power. I’m wondering would I have an ECU problem? Thanks

There's a solonoid on the side of the gearbox,one of a few that that activates the hydraulic ram in the gearbox that does the high low change. Is power getting to that. If not ,Try a live fused feed, to the solenoid with the engine running to see if you can get it into high.

sounds like the auto box hasnt woken up what controls work and what doesnt ?
Everything seems to be working apart from the high low, the dyna shift 4wd and diff lock
Hydraulics all seem to be fine.
John if I try your idea will that give me lights back up in the dash in your opinion?

Not sure about the pto but the hydraulic definitely does il will check the pto when I get home.

There’s a switch on the clutch pedal that wakes it up when you press the clutch down have a look at that

There is a small wire connected to the positive battery terminal along with a fuse (or two) under the bonnet above the batteries. These supply the autotronic box so check wire and fuse are ok.
Pto is working and I checked the switch on the clutch and all seems ok. And I checked both fuses under the bonnet and proved the voltage under the step. I have a head scratcher to say the least. The bit that is throwing me off is . Why are the lights not coming on in the dash for any of the above.
where are u from. could the switch for selecting the low box have got hit.
mine did this once or twice but think selecting low box a few times sorted it, remember putting a switch in it too and having to short it until i got round to it. there is also something in the gearbox that the stick has to actuate.

Northern Ireland the tractor does very little to be honest not really a chance of switch getting hit I removed the wires of the switch under the lever in the gear box and crossed them out and still no joy. Hopefully I might be able to get a spare ECU of my local dealer to try that
Is that outside cookstown? That not that far from me.
Cheers for that o might give him a call
to be honest i was beginning to think u had our old one, sold it about 2-3 months ago, no real faults only crunch in 1 gear. i had the pto and linkage bypassing the ecu as quick fix but never got round to actually finding the faults, hey it worked.
