MF4707 PTO engagement issues (8’ Bushhog)

[FF1854]

Hello all. First time post, and no doubt from a rookie in terms of tractor technology. Will try to keep brief:

- new 4707, just had 50 hour service
- grappled and mowed (8’ new Hog) yesterday morning with no issues.
- continue to try adjustments for Hog level and cut quality; adjusted back support wheels on Hog one level to raise deck
- used rear linkage external controls multiple times to toy with mowing height; also used inside height controls
- when tried to start up PTO again to mow, I can hear PTO trying to engage (clicks) but the PTO shaft barely turns (or doesn’t turn) and I eventually get a flashing triangle warning light.
- adjust throttle does nothing (except perhaps trigger the warning signal)

Any thing jump out for a quick check? I’m not with the tractor now but thought I’d seek some input.

Thanks!

The first thing that jumps out at me is the warranty should cover it. You may have a weak solenoid or a poor connection if the PTO is energized by a solenoid rather than a mechanical engagement.
