Well I just got home a couple of hours ago with my new CK30. What an impressive machine!!!!
Unfortunately I fear I may have a small problem with the PTO. When the PTO is in disengaged via the PTO lever it still spins ever so slowly. I can also hear somw noise coming from the PTO like it is partially engaged. I can grab the PTO shaft and stop it (I know, be careful) but as soon as I let go is starts slowly spinning again. If I push in the clutch the PTO stops spinning and the faint noise goes away.
Does my PTO need adjusting? I have tried moving the lever around a little and it seems to make noe diferrence. Maybe this is normal?
If it is a reasonably easy adjustment I want to do it myself as my dealer is a 150 one way drive away.
One other unfortunate discovery is the lefthand ROPS knob was cross threaded badly. Bad enough that when I finally got it out the thread in the hole were completely destroyed and so are the threads on the tip of the knob/bolt.
Even with these hickups I so far love this tractor. This is the first HST I have used and WOW is it cool.
ANy input on the PTO?
