Got one of the 200s out today to do a sample hay baling because we have been working on the baler and I wanted to make sure everything worked before I cut my hay field. Anyway first time using a 200 and I noticed from neutral to low no problem but if I went to high then neutral it was still engaged and I would have to pull it to low and then back to neutral to get it out of high and into neutral. Is there an adjustment for this? Also as I said it was the first time using a 200 and I loved the power director feathering it in and out to slow up to let the baler catch up. I had cut some very thick grass below the manure pile and my windrows were huge but the 273 did a good job and didn't shear any bolts and I did like engaging the PTO and the engine not bog down like the 5040 does.

Do I need to disassemble spool valve and clean and reseal it? Or should I try to adjust it?

The bushing on the pivot shaft is likely worn out too

Work it back and forth several times may free it up. If not, may have to pull spool out and polish. MACK

Ok thanks Mack, I bought it at an auction and replaced all fluids and filters. I may try to run it some more and see if it gets any better
