g4000 rotary tiller slipping

[steger424]

i believe ours is a g4000 kubota tiller and trying to till on low and high pto speeds and spins fine when raised but when lowered it looks like there is some slipping somewhere. The pto shafts doesnt seem to be affected so i figured its something on the tiller. Is there a clutch pack or adjustment to be made? any help is appriciated.

I think your tiller is the same as one I have. Mine is a B-36 but I am pretty sure I have read that they are the same. If I am correct you have a built in slip clutch under the chain guard for the external drive chain. Can you get a picture of your tiller? I have the original manual with the instructions for adjusting the slip clutch.

I will try to get a picture tomorrow but I'm pretty sure this is the same one on this auction link

If that is your tiller then, yes you have a built in slip clutch under the chain cover.
