the initial complaint was it would barely work in forward gear. after servicing and changing the cable for 1st and 2nd gear the tractor runs and drives fine except for when you put it in forward and take off from a stop. it has a slight hesitation then it surges and runs fine after

My M 6040 with hydraulic shuttle has a slight pause before moving; I have heard that this is normal.
Just wanted to thank every who responded to my thread on the on the m108s running problem think we got it solved. So thank you all. jim
type of fluid is in the transmission? Hopefully super udt2. Anything else can cause chatter. THe clutch is hydraulic kinda like an automatic transmission in a car and improper fluid can cause the clutch pack to chatter. The bad part is, once the cheap fluid is impregnated into the clutch discs, there's no getting it out short of replacing the clutch pack.the initial complaint was it would barely work in forward gear. after servicing and changing the cable for 1st and 2nd gear the tractor runs and drives fine except for when you put it in forward and take off from a stop. it has a slight hesitation then it surges and runs fine after
Also could be an issue with the hydraulic system that engages the pack assembly.
Or-one other item, look under the tractor. There's supposed to be a spring between the "clutch" engagement mechanism and the tractor. If the spring is gone, they'll get real jerky on engagement.

after having the operator run the tractor he said once it warms up it will not go forward unless you feather the clutch and throttle. ot gpes om reverse just fine.
