Hi guys
We have just taken delivery of a 2019 M125gx iv with 1400 hours on it. Put it to work on a flail hedge cutter and after a few hours the beautifully smooth transition from forward to reverse turned into a violent, sledgehammer of a change in direction. I thought, "that was weird", tried again and everything was fine and continued to be fine for a good while. Later in the day it did it 2-3 times so I started to use the clutch pedal to see if that was any different. Same thing happened every so often. Literally lifted my foot a fraction (barely off the stop) and wham, it lurches forward and then stops, the rest of the pedal travel/clutch operation operates as normal, its just that initial engagement comes in very aggressively right at the bottom of the pedal travel! Towards the end of the day it got more frequent so there is obviously an issue. Drove it a few miles back to the yard and played around trying to replicate it without success.
Has anyone had a similar experience or can shed any light on this?
