After the long hard debate of whether to buy JD or Kubota I purchased the JD Z920A ZTrak Pro Series 60" 7Iron Deck commercial grade zero turn mower to take on the task of cutting the 3.5 acres on my property that requires a finish cut.
It was delivered last Friday early enough for me to get a complete mow in that same Friday night. The tractor preformed flawlessly and the cut quality was great. Tonight was another story however.
Today after getting about 1/3 of the way done, during mowing, the PTO shut off randomly with no warning. I looked down to see if the was diagnostic codes and there weren't any. I pushed in the PTO button and pulled it back out to engage the PTO again and the mower deck spun back up and blades were spinning again. 30 seconds later the PTO shut back off without warning again. I cycled the PTO again and nothing happened. I drove the mower back to the garage and before I pulled it in I thought I would try to PTO button again and it worked. So I motored back out to where I left off and continued mowing... for about 2 minutes this time and the PTO shut off again.
I called the dealer and told them about what was going on and they are coming out to pick it up tomorrow morning. The guy at the dealer told me it sounded like the PTO electronic clutch was overheating.
I'm not real happy about this (kinda pissed actually) since the tractor is brand new and I've put 4hrs on it.
