Have a new 3016 with 9 hours on it. Was using it this afternoon and about 1 hour into my task I went to shift from 2nd to 3rd. The gear selector stopped in between both gear and would not move. It seems to be in third gear but the location on the slot is in the middle and the gear selector will not move an inch.
Now before any suggest that I should not change gears while moving, I can assure you I have always come to complete stop before changing gears. The tractor was hard to select when I took delivery. Sales guy told me that all tractors are hard to shift when new and that they get easier with hours and where on them.
Now I am stuck in what appears to be 3rd gear and can not get out. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else and is there an easy fix I can do myself or should I call the dealer up on Monday? I would hate to have to wait a until the dealer can get out to check as my project is half way done and I have a couple 4' pile of dirt that the wife will not be happy about seeing all week.
