F3680 Wheel Spin

[Gary55]

Recently bought Kubota F3680 with rotary deck. When I make an turn end of each
stretch the front inside wheel spins, a lot. To help this I creep very slowly, make
an bigger turn and gentle on the pedal. The fuller the lock the more wheel spin.
Gearbox has recent oil change
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

sounds like the 'differential lock' is ,um, well, locked....

Thanks. Still spins, tried 2wd and 4wd. the inside wheel whilst in diff lock does spin slightly
more so than when not engaged. Without experience of an second machine I can't be sure
how much! I guess there would be some spin depending how much gas you give it! I use it
for mowing an games pitch so the grass isn't long. Thanks again

Would expect slippage of inside wheel when in FWD and/or diff lock engaged.

Would not expect such slippage when neither engaged and on level ground.

I assume front and rear gearbox's are getting the required oil pressure to make them
work. There seems to be firm drive in rear wheels. I'll consider an engineer take it for
a spin. I use it basically once a week so not a lot. It's possible some wear inside maybe
responsible.
