Having an issue with the clutch and or PD and I know I've read here before on how to tell but here is what it's doing. Forward motion slows/stops and PTO the same. Mostly when more heavily loaded (almost full bale uphill) it will hesitate and then grab and go. Next hill same. Also when I quit and shutdown had some oil leaking from center just aft of engine. What's going on here? Thanks

PS Glad I got the 185 so I won't get stopped

My guess is your rear main seal is leaking. That makes the clutch slip. That is why it affects the PTO and forward motion. Slippage causes heat which burns the oil away making the clutch grab again until the leak makes it slip again. Hills bring on the extra load.
