I have a DK45 with shuttle shift 8 gears (4 L and 4 H). The 4 high gears I absolutely cannot use. Each time I put it in any one of those gear, no matter how much I rev up the engine, as soon as I clutch it in, the tractor goes to the neutral position on the shuttle shift. When I operate with the low gears. 1 is OK all the time. 2 will jump out when there is an excessive load but this is rare. 3 will jump out when there is an excessive load such as running my 6 ft rotary cutter while climbing a hill. 4 jump out most of the time and will operate only on very flat land at low or zero load.
I can't believe Kioti would make a tractor with 4 practically useless high gears. I'm thinking there is something wrong with my transmission. If so, what can be wrong with it and what should I do? Right now I have half a mind to keep on running this tractor as is until it dies and buy a new one. However, if there is something reasonable inexpensive for me to do, I'm game.
