I have a JD 4210 with a loader and lots of implements... right now, I have a JD 47 backhoe on it that we use regularly. (We are a Rural Water District with 8 miles of waterline and about 4 miles of sewer lines and 75 acres to maintain.)
The backhoe will come off even though it is mounted to the frame with releasing a couple of pins and putting the 3pt arms back on, but the PTO doesn't work, so we couldn't run any of our mowers or the tiller with it anyway. I've been wanting to get a hydraulic offset flail mower to use with it but haven't because of this PTO issue.
So, I'm wondering what would be wrong with the tractor that the PTO won't turn when the lever feels like it is engaging? Also, is the PTO system connected to anything else such that just leaving it inoperable and ignoring it will end up resulting in further damage down the road?
