PTO in neutral lugs engine

[adamsj3]

You appear to have no appropriate topic for this problem.

In gear, the PTO seems to work fine. When I put it it neutral, with no load attached, it lugs the engine to the point of stalling when I release the clutch.
I have been using this tractor for over a year and this is NOT normal behavior.

Any thoughts from members would be appreciated.

Haven't heard this one before. Are you saying you put the pto in neutral or the gear shift in neutral?

You have to supply your topic, which you did. Are you saying the pto works fine in all 3 pto speeds, but in neutral it kills the engine?

I'm wondering if he is getting it stuck in 2 ranges, and not really getting it to the n

PTO in neutral, in or out of gear.

There was a pull down window with topics. There was no opportunity to enter my own.

Sorry, I didn't finish the response. I was connected to a tiller when the problem appeared. I shifted to all 3 gears and back to neutral. Lugged the engine each time I went back to neutral. I had to pull the PTO linkage to drive home.
