Trimble 750 & NH combine - urgent help needed please

[Steevo]

I'm not having a good day....or week!!

I have a 750 screen with ez-pilot for steering the New Holland CX8060 combine. Went to start the screen up today and it's decided to start doing a doom boot loop.

1) Has anyone had this before?
2) What are my options?

In the meantime I have a spare screen that I might be able to use as a backup.
Hopefully I have some settings saved to USB for the combine that I can load in to give me the parameters but I'm not 100% sure.

3) Can I transfer the Rangepoint subscription across or do I need to purchase a new one?

4) Can anyone help with the settings please? Even better, an export file of settings would be ideal.

Any help anyone can give would be brilliant please. I can steer the machine manually in the mean time but I also can't be looking up how to get it fixed, and getting it all up together whilst I'm doing that.


Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide to lighten the load.

Who supplied the Rangepoint subscription?

If its Vantage or Symagri they’re the first people I’d be asking for help, always been very helpful over the phone for me

 

[Flatlander]

Not sure but I think the machine parameters are saved into the nav controller. Assuming ez pilot uses one.
also keep in mind there are solar storms/ flares happening at some point soon so might have some role to play in the screens issues. Have your tried a complete power disconnect

 

[Barleymow]

Can you not use the steering wheel for now

No nav controller on an ez-pilot.

Try soft (first) or hard reset. Might get you going. Not without risk of data/settings loss. Instructions: https://anleitungen.agroelec.ch/cfx_750/anleitungen/AGSB_CFX-750_HardandSoftReset_29228.pdf

Rangepoint sub is linked to the serial number, so not transferable without help from Trimble. Questionable.

I have some config files saved for different implements, but all for a front-steer tractor. You're welcome to a copy if any use to you.

Just wanted to come back to this and thank everyone for their help.

I could have done without the stress of this additional issue after the week or so that I'd had so it was nearly the straw that broke the camel's back. Today I had a real taste of how @Two Tone must have felt last harvest with his linseed.



Ended up doing a hard reset and now the screen will boot so it's not totally bricked.

Downside is I've lost some settings which will take time to get back properly, and none of my A-B lines are saved.....which will need the screen back in a tractor and running up the tramlines to sort it out properly. Time that I don't really have as I need to be sat on the combine for while the sun is shining.

Hopefully we'll be back going again properly at some point.

Run the combine up a tramline to save A-B
Don’t think an ez steer playing up comes anywhere near a difficult linseed harvest.

Was just about to say to do a hard reset.
Glad you got going again.

If your only on rangepoint your A-B lines will move anyways so need redoing every field anyways

I would agree with your last sentence.

But this week it has become the straw that broke the camel's back on top of 1001 other stresses. This was the point that I was making.

The pressure of solving mounting problems all by yourself and not knowing which way to turn is never fun.

Thank you.

The screen now boots thankfully, but due to poor backing up on my part, I've lost quite a few settings that are going to take a lot of time and effort to reconfigure to get it back going as it was...so I'm botching it for now and will hope I have capacity to sort it out after harvest.

Apparently this issue is down to the memory being full - an issue I was not aware could cause such catastrophic failure.

All my AB lines just get "shifted" each time I'm in a field - the A-B direction never changes.

I delete coverage logging regularly.
That helps keep it clean.

Strangely I deleted the coverage logging for all “harvesting” as soon as I started the first field so that would have helped exactly as you say.
But when I turned the screen on the following day to start the next field the issue occurred.

Had the box 10 years and never had an issue like that before. Just happened to happen at a time of chronic stress, and the worst possible timing and most difficult time to fix as the one backup I needed most was the one I lost.
