I have this problem posted on the operation forum also but it was suggested that maybe some of you folks might have an idea.
I recently bought a Yanmar 4220D and within the first few hours of running it (bush hogging) the engine would suddenly choke down and die. It was exactly like the tractor was overloaded and stalled except it would do it with the tractor setting still and in neutral. THis happened perhaps half a dozen times and the first couple of times, it had thought that the bush hog was fouled with something, but then it did it going down the driveway with out the PTO in gear. Each time the tractor made a squealing noise similar to a hydraulic pump overload sound but not high pitched
Finally after looking the entire tractor over and getting out the operating book which was almost useless. I found that the 4 wd shift lever was only partially engaged. I moved it to full engagement and it hasnt happened again although I cant imagine that that was the problem since it stalled once setting still with the tractor in neutral
ANY ONE WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. THIS IS A POWERSHIFT 12FORWARD/4REVERSE 50 pto hp diesel 4 wheel drive Tractor with a FEL
