Perhaps you might post your thread in the John Deere forum here on TBN. In this way, you will be more apt to receive more replies. BTW, Welcome Aboard and Good Luck.:tractor:

Along with taking Creekbends suggestion.

What type/size of tiller are you using and type of PTO shaft does is it use a slip-clutch or shear pin and does it appear to be working?

Welcome to TBN. Good luck with your question!

Have you determined if the PTO is slipping in the tractor or a slip clutch on the implement?
I think the PTO clutch lever/cable/linkage is adjusted with the PTO disengaged.
Is traction clutch properly adjusted? Assuming it's a dry clutch..

Zebra might be right, I have 4400 hours on my 5420 and it used to till around 3000 hours with my Terranova (Green Maschio) /Maschio C205. It never slipped. I think it would be the shaft. I would tighten it tight as you cant but not super tight that its seized.
