it turned out to be the computer. had to replace it. $1900 for the piece. we tried everything else, solonoids, control arm, went over the wiring, countless times. always thought it could have been the computer, didn't want to spend the money, ended up spending at least twice as much as I should have. couldn't get any straight answers to the problem. changed the computer, machine hasn't skipped a beat since. been well over a yr now. tried to find an after market cpu, no luck.
I bought a skidsteer power take off. I run all of my farm 3 point hitch attachments with the telehandler. snow blower, post pounder, brush mower. machine works great...when it's working.
let me know if you have any questions. nice to hear from somebody finally
