HI
I have a Rhino 324 with a back hoe and loader attachment. We were having some trouble with the main gearbox allowing to put in gear. Adjusted the clutch and tractor engages and moves both ways. The trouble we are having now is that the PTO and hydraulics do not engage or work. I know there is a secondary clutch but am thinking this is not the issue as there is power to the drive wheels. If the primary is engaging the secondary should be also. The PTO lever is engaged and can feel it mesh into gear. I am now thinking this could be a hydraulic issue with the pump. Does this tractor need to have hydraulic pump working to engage the PTO? How else can I trouble shoot this problem.
