- Kubota L5240 HSTC, JD X738 Mower, (Kubota L3130 HST - sold)
9 years ago i sold a friend my L3130 when i go the 5240 w/cab. I warned him that I thought the PTO clutch was slipping a bit based on what i saw when using my logging winch. He wasn't too worried about it. Fast forward to now and after several years of him using a chipper on it, the clutch has apparently fried. He called a local dealer and they said it would be in the $5k ballpark. I assume this means the tractor needs to be split. He has decided that he will just use a stand alone chipper and ignore the PTO but a couple questions.
1. Do you have to split the tractor for this?
2. Any idea on parts cost? Complexity of repair?
3. Any risk to just ignoring it and not using the PTO anymore?
Thanks,
Dave
