- (Kuboto L3400) (Ford 1900 4WD w/FEL) (Deere X748SE) All bought new
I just got a new L3400 4WD HST. I have a 60 inch brush cutter on it. I depress the clutch and engage the PTO, then release the clutch. When I depress the clutch to disengage the PTO it makes a grinding sound. I think the mower is over running the PTO during it's coast down. To eliminate this I disengage the PTO without using the clutch. Is this normal? My dealer seems to think so but I did not get a feeling of certainty from him. I have been using the tractor and I really love it.
