Unknown warning light on X1120D

[HandlebarFarm]

We've had an X1120D for several years now and have never had any prior problems with it.

On Thursday my Dad shifted it into 4WD and a warning light lit up on the dashboard. We can't figure out what it means. It's right next to the 4WD indicator light as shown in the pictures below.

After researching the manual and the web without success, we inquired at the Kubota dealership. They didn't know the answer either.

Any input you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

That symbol usually goes on when the pto is engaged in most tractors. Any chance he bumped that lever?

 

[Utopia Texas]

That is the international symbol that the PTO is engaged.
Your dealer does not know this?

 

[HandlebarFarm]

There's no PTO on this machine. It's an RTV.

There's no PTO on this machine. It's an RTV.

Does it have the hydraulic bed lift?

 

[HandlebarFarm]

Yes, it does.

Just to clarify, the light only comes on when we shift into 4WD.

Just to reiterate, the light only comes on when we shift into 4WD.

Hmmmm... the symbol to its immediate right is the symbol for the 4WD - maybe the two lights wiring are mixed up.

Does the 4WD light come on when it's put in 4WD?

 

[HandlebarFarm]

Yes, the 4WD light comes on as normal. This second light just started burning simultaneously on Thursday. Really strange.

So there is no information about that light on page 22 of the manual?

 

[HandlebarFarm]

Not at all. It's shown in the instrument panel illustration but no further information.

I am sure that is a PTO light, do some of the RTV's have the option of a PTO? If so, a mouse might have chewed some wires.

Does it have a diff lock?

 

[HandlebarFarm]

Yes, it has diff lock but it's not engaged.

I posted last week with a question regarding this PTO warning light issue. I thought I'd follow up here to let everyone know what the final resolution was.

Apparently Kubota uses a single dashboard panel design and wiring harness for multiple RTV models including those without the PTO feature.

In the control box where the 4WD shift handle is attached there is a series of wiring connectors. The 4WD and PTO indicator connections are right next to one another and this sometimes causes the electrical current to jump from one to another if they're too close.

The Kubota dealer used to needle nose pliers to add some space between those connectors in order to resolve this problem.

Thanks for the follow up, good information to know!
