I have a new L3901 with only 30 hours on the machine. I would probably have not noticed this problem but my wife was helping me with some work over the weekend and I happened to be walking behind the tractor while she was driving. When the tractor is going down a slight grade or even on level ground, everything looks normal. But when going up a hill where the tractor is actually having to pull, the PTO shaft turns intermittently. It doesn't turn like it's actually engaging but rather turning at at rate that seems to match the rotation of the wheels. Is this an indicator that something is wrong or is this a normal quirk on the new L series tractors? I'm going to call the dealer today as well but I wanted to get some other feedback in case I need to throw the BS flag on them.
