No No, it never started again until a new ECU was connected. It wouldn't even communicate with the dealers laptops when plugged in. They tried 2 of them

Keep us updated on what you find out...hopefully it isn't the ECU like mine was

That's an interesting theory lugbolt

Original poster here. So I just wanted to close the loop on this issue for anyone that was interested and also for anyone that may do a google search in the future. I know it has been over 2 months but it took that long for KTAC to go through their process and they ultimately denied the claim...

For anyone that's interested or may be reading this in the future I found another thread from this forum dated about a year ago and it was from a guy with the exact same problem and exact same tractor (MX5800- he starts off saying M but if you read down he means MX) and the tractor was bought...

Update- So the tractor has been in the shop now for a couple of days and I received a call today from the dealer. They tried connecting 2 different laptops with different cables up to the tractor and could not get either laptop to talk to the ECU. Unfortunately, as I had figured the battery took...

Yeah it is a big PITA. Especially when the 3 dealers within 1 hour of me cannot look at the tractor between 1-4 weeks from now but yet they have to be the ones to reset it (considering that's the problem). Could you imagine being in the middle of making hay (we make our own small square bales)...

Thank you for your reply. I am hoping that it is a code that only dealers can clear and the tractor is back to running. That would be a whole lot cheaper than a new ECU. So is it correct to say that there are codes that regular individuals can clear through the dash and then there are codes that...

Saturday I was grading my driveway with my 2016 MX5800 and was running the tractor for about 2 hours with absolutely no problems. The tractor had been sitting in the pole barn for a month but it started right up, no problems. As I was grading the driveway, I turned the tractor off to grab a...

I don't know your set-up (3 pt blade, FEL blade, etc) but I have a gravel driveway as well and something that works amazing for me is use the 3pt blade backwards. It hardly moves any gravel.

Here's the one I built. It beats chaining it to a tree which I was doing before I built this. I also like that I can move the PHD around without hooking it up.

I like that!

Also, check the replaceable teeth on the auger if it is a used unit. Teeth can look okay but will be a night and day difference when you put new ones on there. I use the serrated ones. I have quite a bit of experience with PHD's.

They definitely are great tractors!
