- Kubota M7040 cab/hyd shuttle - current, Kubota L3400 - traded
On my test drive of a M7040 I found that I had a real tough time moving between Hi and Lo and vice versa. The tractor was stopped when I was doing this and I put the shuttle lever in neutral.
I believe I even had the gear leaver in neutral for this.
There did not seem to be enough distance for the linkage to travel and even when it did, it did not seem to engage properly - tractor would go no where.
Took a few times everytime I tried to change.
The mechanic who was with me showing me the machines said that the linkage was just tight from the tractor not being used since it was on the dealers lot and said that with use and lubrication, it would be fine.
Have others noticed anything like this? I'd be purchasing the very same machine so I have a slight concern - should I?
