Good afternoon

I have a open station kubota M6800 fwa mechanical shift... when cutting hay I put the machine in reverse and went to move forward and the handle would move to neutral but stay in reverse, if it was in foward the tractorwould nor move and bogg down... thinking there was something in the way of a linkage I looked below the wheel and everything was clear. Fooled with it for a while and it worked fine... now it will go in forward but you hear a slight grind when you shift to reverse. Any ideals would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to this forum
Sounds similar to a Kubota M4900DT I owned many yrs ago. My M4900 got locked in reverse & I had to have tractor split & manual shift reverser replaced.
