Mowing LS 5020C PTO Problems

[spectre533]

The PTO on my new 5020C would not work from day one. Dealer replaced some kind of hydraulic controller and it worked for 4 hours and same problem came back. When I turn on the PTO switch the indicator light on the dash panel lights up for 3 seconds, then goes out and the transmission pressure light comes on. The PTO never rotates. Anybody else had this problem?

60hrs and no issues with U5030. Ask for a different unit.

Sounds like a transmission issue. Id have them crack the case at a minimum and take a look. What's your dealer saying?

ditto to what has been said. Sounds like somebody fubared the assembly. Maybe put a one way valve on in the wrong direction...?

No problem with my 7010 but I havent used the pto much. I think the new unit suggestion is the way to go. Why accept a tractor that had to go to the shop on day one. How much have you used it so far. If you used it for several hours prior to discovering the issue, then you may not be able to "insist" on a new unit, but if they had to immediately take it back, then BRING OUT ANOTHER ONE MISTER DEALER.

Does lemon law apply to tractors? 3 strikes and your out. Good luck.

OP would have to check their state's laws. It is different from state to state.

Thanks for the inputs. Lemon law in Texas is in effect and it is three strike and out. The 5020 is in the shop now for the 3rd fix and I'm betting they don't come up with a good fix. Will update the outcome.

Glad to hear it. I'm hoping the dealer is being helpful. Kinda surprised LS USA hasn't made a post. I'm sure they are reading.
