Hey everyone,
I have a John Deere 3032 that I'm running a Frontline 2060 mower on. I bought the tractor used about a year ago, it was in pretty good shape. Moved dirt with the bucket and box just fine. A couple months into owning it I got a Frontline 2060 mower for it. All specs show it's within it's capacity to operate, both JD and Frontline. Last summer while mowing the power to the PTO would just stop. Engine still on, still moving, little to no change in RPMs, but realized I wasn't cutting anything. So I would cycle my PTO switch on back on the mower went. However, I might get 30 minutes of use and have to cycle the PTO switch again. This time getting maybe 10 minutes before it shut off. So I did a complete fluid and filter change. Didn't notice much change, so I went the mechanical and electric route. Started at the front and worked my way back going through the manual trying to find solutions blindly replacing things. Fall/ winter hit and mowing slowed and the issue wasn't nearly as bad I could get almost the whole yard done often with no issues. Summer time is here again and the issue is back and worse. I only mowed for 20 mins before it started shutting down and I would only get 1-2 mins of run time before I would have to cycle the PTO switch to turn it back on. Any suggestions would be amazing!
