- 06 Montana 4940C/R4/FEL arched boom.
Hard to believe it but my 4940C laid down on me 3-27-07. With only 103 hrs on my tractor the transmission has locked up. As I was mowing my pasture my tractor came to a quick and violent halt. My first thought was that my flail mower picked up something and became bound up and causing the tractor to stop like it did. I checked everything out and nothing was caught up in the mower and the pto shaft would turn by hand. I started the engine back up and tried to run the pto. The pto would not engage in either manual or independent and yes the implement was down low, I know about the limit switch that will shut down the pto when the three point is up high. After the pto wouldn’t work, I tried to get my tractor back to the barn to park it and call my Montana dealer. When I tried to go forward and get out of my pasture, my tractor made a bad gear clashing noise under the cab and the engine died in an instant. So I tried again and at that point it would not go into any forward gear. I tried all ranges and gears and still no luck. It would back up, but not very easily I could tell it was in a bind.
My Montana dealer came and picked up my tractor the next day 3-28-07. I’ll keep yall posted on what we find and how well Montana handles this problem. Has anybody else had this problem yet?
