Hello,

I am new here. Just bought my first tractor, an L275DT.
I am not very familiar operating a tractor, sometimes in the past I helped a friend making hay on an old MF tractor, nothing more.

I bought the Kubota to mulch my horse paddock, it is relatively steep, up to 30%.
I had following problem operating the machine: I started mulching in 1H, a few minutes later I had to shift to the low gear group, 3L, then 2L. Suddenly there was no moving of the tractor any more, as if the clutch slips.
I tried to shift to 1L, same problem, no moving. I tried several things, forward - backward, H gear - L gear and so on. No success.
Waiting a few minutes, trying to switch different combination, suddenly the machine moved forward in 1H, and everything was o.k.

Did I make anything wrong? My feeling was, the clutch is worn out, but in case of a defective or oiled clutch, it cannot come back to normal operation...

BR., Dieter

meanwhile I have been in contact with a few experts. They think it is the toothing of the gearbox mainshaft the clutch plate is sliding on.
We will see..
