Does anyone have any advice for easier shifting of a new B3030 with HST (and no clutch)?
Kubota's advice (on stickers and in the manual), for difficulty in shifting, is to lightly touch the pedal in forward or reverse to ease shifting from neutral into H, M or L, and firmly press the brake pedals for a few seconds to shift from one of the ranges back into neutral.
These methods work, but often only after several annoying repetitions of the above procedures. When I'm doing work that requires frequently getting on and off the tractor (and not wanting to leave it running while in "gear"), this can be quite bothersome.
Has anyone else experienced this, and/or found a better solution? Might my first transmission oil change (still 40 hours away) possibly make a difference?
