Hello everyone, long time follower first time poster.

I have a Kubota B6200 and the other day it just would not move. I can put the gearbox into gear and the clutch pedal feels normal and springy however as I let go of clutch nothing happens. There is no noise when clutch is engaged, I would assume you can hear a slipping clutch or grinding gears?

How can I diagnose if its a gearbox issue or a clutch issue?

Thank you in advance

Look at the PTO shaft, it shares the same drive and clutch as the movement.
If you engage the PTO and try to move the tractor and neither moves you're very likely to have a blown clutch.
You can also look under the tractor and see if this shaft is spinning (blue), and then check the joint in yellow it's know to fail leaving you with no drive.

Which transmission does your tractor have. Manual gear or HST?
Is it possible your high -low range selector is in neutral?
What is happening with the pto shaft.

Thank you for your help guys much appreciated!

My High-Low selector shaft was damaged from prior works and rubbing against panel and was popped into NEUTRAL which seemed to be in high range and difficult to shift.

Was about to split the tractor in 2 over the weekend. Now i can enjoy afew more beers instead.
