I am looking at buying a New Holland LS180, 10 years old but in good condition.
However I have heard there are a lot of issues with the seat belt and seat switches on these machines and neither can be easily replaced.
What are these for? Do both the seat belt and seat switches render the machine in idle unless both are closed? So if either is faulty the machine won't operate?
Do they both control the boom and drive?
Is the idea that you have to be sitting in the seat with the belt closed for the machine to move and boom to operate?
If there is an issue with just one of the switches is that enough for the machine not to work?
Apologies for all the questions...don't want to get a machine that will stop working due to a faulty sensor switch.
