HST gear range L-M-H select issue

It won't make them harder to spin while suspended in the air by the FEL, what it will do is make the circumerence of the tires larger which will change the pressure on the drive train when the tires are in contact with the ground and in MFWD.

Ok, just glad to see it's not just me. I try to be patient, but shizzle, I get so frustrated sitting there pushing/pulling/yanking/steppin' on the go pedal etc. trying to get the dang thing going. Kubota really needs to check into this if they're gonna offer this type of tranny.

When this happens to me, I just put it back into the gear I took it out of and then try again and it slips right in. Doing it this way has never failed yet.

When my L3430 doesn't want to shift I put it back into the gear I was in and reverse direction slightly before trying it again. 99% of the time it slips right into the gear I need.

I usuall have to do the same thing to shift from 4wd to 2wd.

I just move forward and backward in my seat to shake the tractor a little and it pops right in.

Clutch engage,take foot off brake let tractor roll very little,or turn steering wheel Lor R....works for me.

I feel like a dummy for asking this question, but how can adding air to the front tires while they are raised with the fel make the front tires harder to spin?

When tires spin while raising the front of the tractor while in four wheel drive it is because of axle wind-up. It is because you don't have a good relationship of the axle turns between front and rear axles.

Adding air or letting some out will balance it most of time unless there is a miss match of tire sizes and makes.

I have had this happen a few times.. today's 4 hours I shifted nearly flawlessly everytime...

BUT I have almost 200 hours on mine now..
It was tougher near the 50 and 100 hour marks...

Later,
