Hey Sandlot, mine did the same last weekend, when the PTO lever was in neutral, the shaft still spun. I could easily stop by hand (had rubber boot on it). I'm thinking just some friction or fluid flow of some kind.

Not sure if Jim's was doing in neutral or not.

Mine does this too. Seems there is a very fine sweet spot on the PTO lever. After playing with it and finding the spot, I set the mechanical lock to that position. But, over the long haul, I expect to have to readjust it over and over to keep it in the sweet spot. Spot is very small. But, like you say, it easily stops when held. I hope it's not a wear issue on the clutch.

I am back after a timeout. The tractor returned to the dealers for a 6th time in under 200 hours. The dealer had played with the various adjustments which did not allow the PTO to stop when the clutch was fully depressed. They were very good about it but it meant me being without a tracot for an additional 5 days.

I went to the post office today and picked up a certified letter from Kioti corporate. In their was a substantial gift certificate to be used at my new favorite Kioti dealer (Ken's Tractor in Swanzey NH) and a two page letter on how Kioti was going to make me happy. If (when?) this comes through I will have a much higher opinion of Kioti.

Ken's Tractor went to Kioti before I knew of the extent of my latest issue and one thing I want to stress is, they were honest with me.

I appreciate eveything they did.

There were several other dealers who were never going to get a sale from me that went to bat for me as well. I will not mention their names for now but if someone wants referrals to several good dealers I will gladly recommend these dealers to them.

More good news to follow.... Hopefully

Jim
