SCND | We got a new 2017 model 7720 Massey this summer and had some small problems nothing to out of the norm of a new tractor, but it has been getting cold up here in North Dakota the last month or so and we have been having issues getting this tractor to start.
It has a Negative side battery disconnect and it kicks out when its cold and the tractor will crank for a bit and stop and some times it cranks half as fast as it should. and wont start and just runs the batteries low before it thinks about starting.
Also had it blow the grid heater fuse a few times.
We feel its cranking to slow to fire up. temp gauge doesn't read very high even with the block heater plugged in,32degrees or less, so were thinking the fluids in the tractor are so thick from the temperature its causing to much torque for the starter to swing the motor at the speed it needs to start.
Dealer just had it for a while to replace the disconnect and some other issues we were having and brought us out a 7716 to use in the meantime also brand new and we had similar starting issues with it. Just got ours back this weekend after it was done being fixed and now this morning it is having the same starting issues we were having before the work was done to it.
Has anyone heard of additional heaters being installed on these tractors to help keep them warm for people like me who don't have the luxury of a heated shop to park the tractor in or a solution to problems like this?
Edited: This is our main loader tractor for feeding cattle now which is why we need it all winter.
