Dealer made it right, pick up , fix up, and return in about 1.5 weeks, so this is not a "complaint thread".

Just wanted to post it so that others might use it for reference.

Was cutting my field, backed up under a pine, got stuck in reverse and couldn't go forward. Had to tow tractor out from tree and rode it in reverse up to the garage. Thought maybe it was a cable - nope. Some people on here have said that the petentionometer cables/solenoids can get water (bone dry at my place but checked that too). Looked for disconnected cables, missing pins/bolts, tried it in 4 wheel, and various other settings.

Dealer said that they had to split it and replace the hydraulic gear.

At least I got new fluid and filters out of the deal.

I can't say enough how much I miss my old tractor(if only it had a cab and less wear and tear). This fly by wire stuff seems like a mess. Less than 60 hours and has been in the shop twice.

FWIW

Did you press the dealer for what might have caused the gear to fail? Easy enough to replace a gear (relatively speaking), and all machines have some issues or bad parts straight from the factory, but it'd be informational to know why the gear failed in the first place.
