pto slipping

[bamatoolmaker]

I have a L3130 with the basic manual transmission an around 450 hours. Never had any problems with this tractor. We have never run this machine hard.
Went to mow today and noticed that something was afoul in tall grass. Checked the slip clutch on the brush cutter first and concluded the slippage is in the tractor. Anybody ever have this problem?
Thank you for your time,
Scott

Parts lists show the L3130 has a hydraulic clutch on the pto. Do other hydraulic functions (loader, 3-point hitch) seem to have full strength?

Uh-Oh ... Its never good when a hyd clutch starts acting up. -- OP, have you ever changed the hyd fluid? Is the level correct?

Rbargeron, all other hydraulic functions appear normal.
Spyderlk, Tractor is overdue for a fluid change but level is correct.
Dont know if this is related, but for the last month or so the pto dash display would not immediately acknowledge activation or speed.

Thanks guys
