New Holland HW320 Electrical Problems

I'm having problems with my HW320 swather. The machine worked just fine for 1st crop. Went to start it to cut 2nd and the battery was DEAD. Charged the battery and started the machine and found I have no display on the display panel and have lost all functions for raising and lowering the head, turning on the reel or knives. The display panel does illuminate. Any one had this problem? If so, Did you end up replacing the EIC? Looking for any information or guidance on this issue. Thanks in advance!

NH658 baler good and bad ??

Looking a NH658 twine only. One owner guessing around 5000 bales thru . Belts need sized . Are they good balers in tuff conditions. Will be baling dry grass hay only. Grass may get tall and stemmy like this year. Do they have trouble starting a bale ? Heavy windrows . I already have a baler that gives me fits in tuff conditions . Need good advice . Thanks for your reply rj

Kubota ZD331 - Diesel - Bogs down in LOW grass

Hi guys, 
new to the forum and fairly new to Kubota Zero Turns.
I have a 2012 ZD331 zero turn diesel
2nd season I've used this to cut about 5 acres of grass on a rural property.

Recently, I've had an issue where the engine seems to bog down at slow speeds like its in deep grass, when its not. It seems like it wants to stall but usually doesn't.
It happened 8x in a 4 hour cutting session over the w/e.

This situation seems to almost stall the engine, however it seems to be the blades that are slowing down NOT the engine (if that makes sense).
If I disengage the blades that helps it to recover, however it seems from what I can tell from the engine, when I disengage the blades the engine rpm are still high....meaning the engine rpm were not bogged down, they are still humming right along
It seems to be at fairly slow speeds when the drive handles are slightly pushed in the forward position.
Pushing the handles forward does NOT change the bog down situation much....very slight. i can usually recover the blade speed if I pull back on the handles and/or disengage the blades for a few moments. then when I reengage
the blades I'm good and cut again.

Its very intermittent. It happens going up a hill or down a hill or on flat ground. I can not reproduce the symptoms at any time...its random. I've changed the air filter and both fuel filters.
I'm stumped.
Could it have something to do with a belt driving the blades slipping? is there a way to tell if belt is going bad and may be the culprit?
Is there a sensor on the handles that could be problematic?

I haven't had much luck on the internet regarding this issue and a ZD331.

Any help or direction is much appreciate.
Thanks!
JR

Pin-On Loader to Skid Steer Adapter.

My next door neighbor bought a JD 55 series 4wd tractor with a 175 FEL. He is up in his years and does not go online. He is looking for a 4 pin-on Skid Steer adapter bracket. I found one at Titan Attachments but it is $1,025. It has to be special ordered due to it being an older tractor that is not stocked.  I see brackets for more current FEL that are from $350-$700, but they will not fit a 4 pin-on 175 loader. Anyone no for sure who carries these for a 175 JD loader other than Titan?

 

Regards, Mike

JD 328 Auger

I would like to know the distance from the end of the auger to the wooden bushing inside.  I've read about people drilling a hole and installing a grease fitting for lubing the wood.  My auger is loud and I would like to lube the wood bushing.
