Some German fella cussed me out cuz I wanted to disable that travel control feature....He had showed up at the shop (Asphalt Milling Services, Ft Lauderdale Fl. 2006) out of the blue to inspect the W2000 recently purchased. The actual item he was looking to inspect was that exact feature, they were not sure if that machine had it or not.
He basically laffed me off and told me Wirtgen would void the warranty if the switch was tampered with. Then, he gets up and looks in the engine compartment, with less than 500 hours on the machine he turns around and looks at me asking who put Baldwin filters on the engine...
He ignores me, marches in the office where the owner is/was, and informs him that CAT engine warranty specs mean using CAT filters for the duration of break in....less then 10 minutes after that fiasco I was on my way to CAT for filters...
That was actually funny that bit about going around a radius and the truck driving away because the travel control cut in...HILARIOUS actually.
I can see our friend Toegrinder has a very special relationship with Wirtgen...nice.
