Usually it means you need a little more clutch adjustment and/or a lower engine rpm. Your synchronizers could be bad. The fluid level can be low, but overfilling on some series will flood the rear brakes with lube.
On some models the pto must slow down or stop spinning if an implement has momentum and you need to shift. There are free wheeling pto adapters which allow the pto to operate at a different rpm than the implement.
The high rpm on an automatic trans can result in shifting problems when changing gears.
Cub Cadets have one of two types of PTOs. The most common is gear driven. The gear teeth of the PTO shaft are very small and thin. If the PTO is engaged without proper clutch action, the gear teeth grind together, trying to engage. A little wear on these gears will cause the surface of the gears to become beveled, and when the PTO comes under load, the beveled surfaces of the gear teeth force the gear lock to disengage. The only option is to replace the worn gears...
The second type of PTO drive is electric clutch. This is a disc type clutch that is engaged by energizing an electromagnet built into the clutch pack... any disruption of electrical power to the clutch pack while under load will cause the clutch to disengage and then possibly try to engage while under load and casues the clutch pack to slip and will overheat almost instantly...
It's likely that your clutch needs adjustment. To adjust, you just need to loosen the two screws on the plate and slide it a bit so the clutch better engages the rear dog clutch.
Have you ever taken the tiller portion off the transmission to grease the clutch? If not, before adjusting it you might want to do that. It could be that the clutch isn't sliding back far enough to engage the rear end and a little grease is all it needs. This service requirement is explained in the owners manual for the tiller.
One last point, the tiller must be in neutral when engaging the pto clutch. From your note, it sounded like you were engaging the clutch with the forward/reverse lever in the forward position. The lever must be in neutral when engaging the pto clutch.
its possibly the gears inside the box they are spider gears & wearout on those they are great machines but the gear drives are weak most of the time or the belt could be slipping
when u engage u have to push in clutch and wait for spinning gears to stop the engage pto and let out clutch, excessive spinning of gears can be caused by low transmission grease also causing grinding
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.
