My Branson 3510 just arrived. I love the tractor but I am curious about a clanking sound coming from the rear end housing. With the bush hog attached and freewheeling. if I shut the engine off, then release the clutch a loud clanging noise comes from the rear end if the pto is still engaged. Is this normal? This is my first experience with a 2 stage clutch.
Of course, It is a better practice to disengege the pto then shut the engine off, but wanted to ask in case there is a problem that might show up later.
By the way the posts here had a bearing on my decision to go with the Branson. And I looked at EVERYTHING from Allis to Zetor. The Dealer, and this was after the sale, said he sold 170 last year and had 1 warranty claim!
