The transmission in our 9680 went into neutral and there is no power to the gauge that shows what gear you’re in, no codes or anything, just blank. Fuses are good. Any suggestions?

Is there some separate circuit board for the arm rest controls, not that I can compare a JD 9430 tractor to yours but some years back had an issue where the two speed power shift ( its a 24 speed manual with that high/low ) not working as per it defaulting to low and had a tech come out and he replaced the arm rest board as I gathered that was a theme and why he came out with one in hand. Perhaps your New Holland dealer has info on what typically was the issue when your series of tractor goes blank and won't respond.

Had Mazer’s out around supper time, he’s not 100% sure but thinks it’s the control module.
It’s kind of my fault, I was just thinking how lucky we’ve been this spring as far as not having any breakdowns. At least we’ve almost wrapped up and will make do.
It quit while he was turning right at an intersection, had all the roads blocked! I was thinking it couldn’t have happened in a worse spot, but got thinking of some of the hills we have to move up and down on the roads. That could have been fatal

So I gather its still sitting on the road or did you unhook the unit and since the tractor is running so it has steering ... towed it a short distance assuming that is safe to do driveline wise, then pulled the implement home with the other tractor. I don't see how you can fault yourself, only the tractor has a fault !

We pulled it a mile down the road to the field, couldn't leave it sitting blocking a main PR road!

Towed home the dead soldier yesterday. At least it was running so was easy to steer it. Pulled it home with our old 895, I have a feeling the old girl was smiling inside! lol Mechanic came out this morning and had found a transmission control module in their shop that they had kept for diagnostics back in the day. Put it in and all is good. Could smell burnt wires in the plug on it. Have to give a big shout out to Travis from Mazer’s in Brandon, he came out just before supper on Saturday then again this morning to get us going then came to the field to tell me what he had found. 👍👍

No front weights? Do you have water in the tyres?

No front weights? Do you have water in the tyres? Yes we do, and some rear weights, it could likely use a bit more as on a wet year you can see the tire tracks from slippage. A newer bigger tractor is in the works for next year.

A newer bigger tractor is in the works for next year. Ah the dreadful topic of tire slippage ! I noticed this year more slippage in my new to me 2015 9520r. They say it’s factory weighted at 52500 lbs. To be honest my old 2008 9530 made no tracks , my 2012 9510r made only minimal tracks. Both those tractors has 2-3 per cent slippage . The last two years with my 9520r shows 5-9 slippage . I calibrated on the highway and was wondering why so much of a difference. The other two had front weights and rear weights plus weights on the tire rims. Do you think adding 8000 lbs would fix the excess slippage . It’s not easy to get the tractor weighed unless your buddies with the dot! I don’t want to trade off on a rx or rt Deere. First of all not much around and don’t feel like paying more money. Adding weight is not cheap Either . Got an estimate of around 5 grand for front brackets and weights . Mine is a pto , so I don’t know where you hsng the rear weights? Anyways , do you really think adding that much weight will reduce spinning ? Sorry to hy jack your post Kevlar

I think it would definitely help, could try just adding some of the weights first and see how much it improves without going all in with buying all the weights. The 9680 only had fluid and no weights up until this year, then we got a rear bracket for it and took half of them off the 9880 and it definitely helped. I think we could have taken all the weights from the 9880 as it doesn’t seem to need it, it has triples at about 50% with fluid and it pulls the 60 foot drill and 440 bushel and never seems to slip unless in mud or some of our steeper hills with lots of stones.

Tires perform best at 5-8% slip…..

Okay, a neighbour has a 9682 with a full set of weights front and back, so it made me wonder. I'm on the lookout for a 9680, hence being interested in how you have it set up, pity you're on the other side of the world or you might have a buyer when you upgrade!

Tires perform best at 5-8% slip….. Yes. But when you have 10% slip in wet dirt and 0% slip in dry dirt, it seems to me pretty much impossible to set a tractor up how a text book would recommend.

It’s been a great tractor for us, this is the first breakdown for us in all the years we’ve had it, over 10 years anyways. Just over 9000 hours on it now.

Great all round tractor . Steiger was great too ! Stegiers seem easier to find with a power take off !
