Thanks for posting this.
I have a 4410 (2004) and I have been trying to figure out why the machine just stops. I was getting the 3 light error flashing code and saw I needed "to adjust the clutch potentiometer" or replace it- but was at a loss. ( I will research but I am thinking the voltages are likely the same for a 4410..) Thanks again.

Thanks for reaching out. Yes voltages should be the same. If potentiometer checks out good then it will most likely be that the controller needs to be reset. If battery was dead recently then controller memory could have been lost. I do have a video on how to reset the controller if you need it. Should be under the 4210 playlist. Will be a little different for reverser, but will show general approach. I can pull exact steps from shop manual if needed for you for reverser if needed. Hope this helps.

HI Darren@@darrenmas
Thank you so much for your work on these videos - its a treasure trove for a guy like me with a smilier machine who does not have your experience.
I watch some of the material. Your "common issues" with the 4310 made me laugh. my 4410 has had every single issue. I have bumbled though and fixed or rigged most of them - but was good to commiserate. Your machine is beautiful and the work you've done to it impressive
Sorry for the long post - But I watched your control fix video and I am now convinced thanks to your thorough explanation what all my error codes and controller problems most likely is... a confused controller.
This last summer I installed a diverter valve for a grapple and in my search for a empty fuse I was moving fusing around and testing what was switched - I believe its possible I put it in programming mode or at the least confused it. I also know I removed the seat switch and plugged it back in at one point during that work, and that may have confused it as well. Your explanations make me think since I am having other random flashes and issues (I have the code chart) besides the potentiometer movement that it may indeed be the controller. I could not figure out why doing the diverter value could have possibly messed up the electronic movement issues - Now it makes sense.
This was like a classes in the 400o series watching some of these and so helpful.
My machine is the 4410 2004 epower reverser. If you'd be so kind to share the shop manual procedure for the controller reset I would greatly appreciate it. I loved your cheat sheet with the error codes which I will make.
I live in central/northen NH and its snowing heavily and the cold is here so I may not get to it for a while, so if your do have time to send it - don't rush - but I would appreciate it. The dealer is expensive and 60 miles away.
Apologize for the long post but your channel is a tractor life line. If you're rather use email please send me yours and I will email you, whatever you like.
