B5200 Squealing

[ChrisBob]

Hello -

I have a Kubota B5200 with the rototiller attachment. Everything works fine till the blades of the tiller are lowered to the ground and make contact. The blades will stop spinning and a squealing noise is made. Does this sound like the clutch slipping?

Thanks

Does the tractor also stop moving?

If yes then it also certainly the clutch
If no then it's something broken internally.

Rototiller on the rear of your tractor?
3 point hitch mounted?
What type of PTO shaft are you using?
Shear bolt or slip clutch?
If you have a slip clutch PTO shaft, the slip clutch could be worn out
or improperly adjusted.

The tractor still moves like normal.

It is a rototiller on the rear with a slip clutch PTO shaft. I can try to post a video today (if I can figure out how to do it). I have never adjusted it in the over 10 years I have used it. If that is the problem, is it normal for the clutch to start slipping with no warning?

Thanks

Not sure why my replies didn't post, but I will try again.

Thanks for the help and quick responses.
- BX25D - The tractor is able to keep moving like normal
- Wolfman - It is a rear mounted tiller with a slip clutch. I have never adjusted this clutch in the over ten years I've had it. I will look more into that and maybe post a video if needed.

Thanks again
Chris
