Wow. Doesn't sound simple.

Any slop in the PTO control linkages? Is it possible the machine thinks PTO clutch lever (with notches on slot) isn't fully in "neutral" (disengaged)? There is a micro switch on it, but I think that's just the engine shut-down if you get off the seat when it's in gear.

Manual states that "Oil pressure is used to engage and disengage the PTO clutch pack." Low on oil (or pressure) in transmission?

That exhausts my limited knowledge!

Please let us know what you find.
