Hi
I have a m125x, lately noticed gear change has become a bit shunty, tractor has under 700 hrs and was recently serviced by dealer, he said he would calibrate clutch but to be honest its probably worse now,
does anyone have the calibration procedure?
thanks

Other than checking the free play in the clutch pedal it wouldn't surprise me that all the other adjustments are done with a computer. Hydraulic clutches are a different beast.

saw the mechanic doing it or trying to do it at least, no laptop but seemed to be following a sequence from a manual with the + and - buttons on powershift lever and clutching every so often

Sounds like a on-board computer. May be in your best interest to order a shop manual for the tractor. Probably be money well spent in the long run. For now if the dealer adjusted it and made it worse I would have the dealer do it again until it's done right.

I know on my last new Cat loader it took the better part of the day to adjust everything like I wanted it. Mechanic would plug his laptop in and it could adjust every function on the machine. Electronic controls are great when they're working but when they act up it's a real PIA.
