I took it to our local Kubota dealer. They took pressure readings, made a case with Kubota, and followed their recommendations. They diagnosed internal problems and split the tractor. They found a blown o ring seal on the forward clutch pack. I have been bushhogging for about 6+ hrs and it is working perfectly. It was failing after 1 - 1/2 hrs. Mark.
