BX2380 PTO disengaged and won’t re-engage

Unbelievable. I had same problem with my 2019 BX23S. Thank the Lord I was able to find the solution via OTT community. The biggest hassle was notching the frame. Once accomplished, pulling the valve was no trouble. Cleaning the tiny port was a challenge. Silicone packs pretty tight apparently under that kind of pressure. I actually found 2 separate pieces. ( see photo). Hopefully that was all of it. I will reassemble and test it out tonight, but am confident progress has been made.
what a dumb and potentially costly problem to have.

Well WTF.
This shouldn't be a common problem on these. That's shoddy assembly. Not what I was expecting from Kubota.

The pieces I pulled out were very similar to what you show. Try to only reassemble the minimum to test it out as I had more silicone that immediately reclogged the port. Good luck!
Just an update, I was able to pull the valve without dropping the trans. Sure enough there was a small piece of silicone in the valve. Once removed it worked like it should. As a precaution I dumped all the hydraulic fluid cleaned the screen and new filter. I did remove the 1/4 plug in the valve ,hooked up a hose and started the machine to move some fluid. Sure enough a few more pieces came out.
Hopefully she's good now. I think it was a result of the wood chipper being used all that rattling around caused some small pieces to break
