Have a John Deere 4410, sometimes after about an hour of work it’ll just quit moving forward or backward, it just comes to a complete stop, but with the PTO still on and bucket works fine. Cut the tractor off for 5 min and back on, it’ll go for about another hour. Any help??

The PTO usually has a clutch that has to be engaged so that you can select the PTO rotation setting. I had a problem like that on my tractor and all it needed was a little adjustment on the PTO clutch lever, so it could disengage the PTO gearbox properly.

Try jacking the unit up. Start it up and try moving pushing the forward and reverse back and forth and see if it does it then. It sounds like an oil way in the hydrostatic unit has a check valve stuck. Of course make sure that the fluid lever is up. Hope this will help you. donnyb60

Yep....I have worked hydraulic systems for 17 years....you have air in the system and it needs to be bleed.

SOURCE: need the pto to work on a 6300 john deere tractor

If you have tried a new sensor and a new switch the the next step is to replace the pto solenoid valve.If that proves fruitless then the b.c.u.needs to be replaced or bypassed.The solenoid valve will cure your problem 90% of the time.If that does not work,let me know,i can tell you how to by-pass the b.c.u..

make sure the battery is fully charged, check all electrical connections and clean them with vinegar and rinse well with demineralized water afterward.
