Intermittent pilot controls

Makk514 · 2024-08-01 13:37

Hi, I just purchased a used Deere 310SJ. 4700 hrs. Ive put about 4 hrs on it and now the pilot controls lock soon after hitting the unlock button. Sometimes it is immediately and other times I can dig for a few seconds. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Welcome to HEF Makk514 ! Please post up the machine serial number when seeking information. Does your engine drop to idle when the pilot controls stop working?

    Serial is T0310SJ162799. I ran it later and narrowed it down to seat. It disengages with seat movement. But after rotating seat several times it ran fine… Faulty seat sensor?

    That is where I was headed with my question.
