I just purchased a M6950DT with a front loader. Everything seems to work fine except for when I hooked up a 6ft mower. The PTO is slipping/stopping under load. My fear is it is the PTO clutch. Could it be something else?
6950 PTO slipping under load
- Thread starter Salty Seminole
- Start date
A friend of mine bought a used M9000 and after hooking a baler to it found that the pto was slipping. Long story short the hyd pressure was low going to the pto but in the mean time the clutch pack was destroyed. New clutch pack and fixed the pressure issues and it was good as new.
I do not think it is the Clutch. Could it be the PTO Clutch. I believe it is in the rear of the tractor and not with the Drive Clutch. Dors anyone know?

Ok, if u have a live PTO, your PTO is going to slip in one direction but it shouldnt just stop, also your clutch is a dual disc clutch. in other words, push the clutch pedal half way in that disconnects the input shaft from the PTO part of the clutch push it all the way in that disconnects the input shaft from the drive part of the clutch.
(i believe thats how it work)
Unless I'm just completely off base this tractor has independent PTO instead of Live. It doesn't have a dual clutch, it's a single dry disc.
On a dual clutch system, the half way point allows you to shift the transmission without affecting the pto. This is what gives you Live pto. From half way down to fully depressed is the pto side of the clutch.
1st thing to do is change hyd filters. Next would be to check pto clutch pressure if a test port is provided on the tractor.
The fluid and filters are good. I think the tractor has a pto pump and not a clutch. Does anyone know?
Can the pump be accessed from the back of the tractor or does it need to be split?
According to Kubota parts which BTW are now accessible for free online your tractor has a hyd pto clutch.
I was advised by a Kubota tech that it has a hydraulic pump and he believes there is a restriction somewhere. We are going to check the pressure.
Yes the Kubota mech you referred to and I agree. A hyd clutch requires a hyd pump that puts out a certain amt of hyd pressure. If you'll remember on the 9th of July I posted stating the pressure should be checked.
Not sure what it is at the pto but the main hyd pressure should be around 2200 - 2600 psi or somewhere in that range.
