On this swather(08 first production year) we are having light issues. We don't do alot of night swathing so it hasn't driven us completely nuts yet but...(only about 600 hrs on the machine)
When working at night, with all the lights on, a circuit breaker will trip.
The newer models have a heavier circuit breaker in place for the road lights(30 instead of 20 amp) and two heavier maxi fuses(larger fuses for work lamps) but we never blew the 20 amp maxi fuses in the first place. The circuit breakers were ever the only things that would trip and reset when the complete load was taken off of them or reduced the load.
There has been an update in the newer models of M150 on the fuse/relay/circuit breaker panel compared to ours. The ones I listed and a "lighting direction relay" which isn't on ours.
We are able to swath at night by reducing the load on the circuit breakers. We are basically down to the cab forward lights(working lights facing forward) We shut off the rear(roading lights) and unplug the two lights on the cab corners shining to the ends of the header and remove the detachable radio front.
Anyone else having any issues and what solution did you find. Macdon Customer service hasn't been any help (by not returning email inquiries)
We clean this thing off that a mouse would starve if it had to live on it and put it in a shed(tractor portion) and put poison on it as well. There is no signs of chewing or smell of mice. I think it may be the load for the gauge of wire is too high. Nothing was added to it that would increase the load on the wiring. Does anyone know of an upgrade from Macdon?
