Trouble changing PTO settings on BX2660

Oh man!

So, after far more time than I would have liked, my tractor is back in my hands. It's had it's transmission torn apart and reassembled, and all that has come from it is a recommendation to jiggle the rear PTO spline when encountering this shifting issue (though with some attachments, that won't be possible.)

The dealer said they tried all of their smaller models (1860, 2360 and 2660) and all suffered from the same problem.

All in all, not so bad a thing. I *really* wish Kubota would have told the dealers about this in a bulliten though. Ah well, got a transmission flush, new oil, and a new filter for nutin' (though, I did my 50 hour service only 8 engine hours ago )

Funny thing too; the tractor got back into my yard, and it's engine RPM/Hours LCD had broken. Leaking LCD fluid all over it Delivery guy said he'd be back next week with a new dash panel.

Sorry to hear that. It is discouraging.

As for the way Kubota's shift things, there seems to be a pattern. Forcing doesn't work. HST, PTO, and Diff Lock. They all kinda seem rock, wiggle and feel to operate. Took a day or two to figure that out on my BX, but got used to it. It's kinda zen like.

I am really surprised as I owned my BX2200 for six years and my BX2660 for about eight months and all I have ever had to do is partially engage it a maximum of twice occasionally and the rest of the time it goes right in. Now the diff lock is a different thing, but no different than my three other brands of tractors.

I've had mine stick also, but I couldn't tell you if the MMM was on or not. I usually just kind of coax it and it shifts.
