Took delivery on new tractor 5 weeks ago. Love it with one exception: getting out of Park is extremely difficult. It was difficult from day 1, but today took 5-10 minutes each time to get it out of Park. I've tried releasing the clutch and the brake and re-trying, and it doesn't help.
From day 1 I've had to use two hands to shift out of Park. It seemed to be getting a little better, but today was almost impossible. I had to remove the seatbelt, scoot over to the right, and wrestle with it to get it to go. Shifting from other gears is no problem. Today was the coldest day since I got it - not sure if this was playing a role. It was so difficult today I actually considered just leaving it in neutral on flat ground so as to avoid the wrestling match.
My assumption is that something needs to be adjusted. I did not expect it to shift like a Corvette, but this is unacceptable. I plan to call the dealer tomorrow, but figured I'd try to get some insight from TBN. Thoughts? Is this a common problem? Is it easily fixed?
