N/H6020 slow to get going when cold

[cattleman123]

My 6020 when cold i/e 1st thing in the morning takes around 5 mins to get going,you need to leave it running in the yard before setting off anywhere as it so sluggish...its find once its warmed up,is this normal ?

You will probably need to furnish with some info. Do you mean the engine will not pull? What type of transmission fitted?

 

[cattleman123]

No very sluggish...just until its warmed up say 4/5 mins....no will not pull otherwise the tractor is fine...6020 the basic one

Interested to see what people suggest as I have a t6010 that is similar. Sluggish on the road for first few minutes then goes ok.

I have an old NH/Manitou with an FPT engine, that will not open up properly when cold and then suddenly it is though a boost is switched on. Not so noticeable in warmer weather.

I occasionally drive a T6010 delta (2009) that doesn't run the best when first fired up.

But I normally let machines have 5-10 minutes to warm up anyways, so don't really notice it struggling on the road.

Thats Exactly how mine is...feels like something has been switched on....seems its best to give it 5 mins in the yard before going out onto the road

Whilst it should probably give 85% of its all straight away, a 5-10 min warm up at 1000-1200rpm is being mechanically sympathetic- you certainly should not go to 2000rpm+ / high load until the operating temperature is reached anyway.

I think what doesn't help the T6010, is that it never does any hard work and never has done.

It spends its life on a road brush, tidying up after muck away lorries. A hedge cutter for a week of the year and a firewood processor.

There is one locally with no power and smoking like a train, has been in and out of dealer all year and no better yet

We had this problem with a used IH. We found the previous owner had removed the thermostat.
fitted thermostat, problem solved.
