John Deere 5055e clutch slipping.

[chaploneywj]

Hi All, I have a 2014 5055e. At 350 hours the clutch started slipping. I took it to the dealership they kept it for over a month. When I went to pick it up, they told me it was an adjustment. As he realized what he said he corrected himself and said "Lots of adjustments". Now at 450 hours of use its slipping again. The clutch pedal is also grabbing and then releasing. When this happens the PTO lever jumps a little. The tractors main use is loading and unloading round bales. Before this I had a NO tc55. It had over 2000 hrs with no clutch issues. I'm confident it's not caused by me. The dealership is telling me to adjust it myself. My questions are 1.Is it normal to have to adjust a clutch every 100hrs? 2. Has anyone else had this problem? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Is your serial number a 1LV or PY?

So ...at 350H you allready coocked the clutch ! Always remember to check the clutchpedal for freetravel !

Sounds like the 9/3 trans right? That one is a dry clutch vs the wet in the 12/12 power reverser. If they already completed lots of adjustment how much do they expect there to be left? Sound so like it was placed on the back burner and forgotten then rushed thru to get it back after they realized you were still hanging. Good luck and hopefully splitting it isn't in your future.

If this is the case why is it not in the periodic maintenance section of my manual?
