Make sure the PTO shaft isn't getting in a bind with the tiller frame when raised.
I've not had the PTO shaft get into a bind with the nearby frame, but I have numerous attachments that have PTO plastic guards that will bind with the u-joints in the shaft. It would seem that a one-size-fits-all PTO shaft guard is used by most companies and in some cases they don't have proper clearance. If I remember correctly, I've got one with a big slip clutch and the tension bolts will carve into the guard when raised too high. PITA, in my opinion.
