Been doing some work at my parents. Brother in law brought his L2950 over. He was doing some mowing with a rotary mower; he had to turn the tractor off, engage the PTO, and then then start the tractor. I thought it was odd.
A couple days ago, I took my PTO chipper over, and hooked it up. I tried using the clutch to engage the PTO with the tractor running; all it did was grind gears. So I had to do same; shut tractor off, engage PTO
Is that normal? Previously i had a Kubota B8200HSTD. To engage the PTO, I put the clutch in with the motor running, engaged the PTO, then released the clutch to start the PTO running with my rotary mower or PHD. Worked great. My current NH TC40D does not have a clutch pedal at all; PTO is hydraulic clutched when you move the lever.
I think somethings wrong with the L2950?
FWIW, the L2950 was nice; there was not hydro whine. I really like HST, but my old B8200HST and my NH TC40D both whine...
