Zdravím Vás, zakoupil jsem captain 273 a po pouhých 24 hod provozu se mi zaseknula páčka ovládání PTO. Nelze s ní nikam pohybovat, nelze vyřadit PTO.. Nelze nastartovat traktor.... Poradíte, prosím?

If the PTO control lever on your Captain 273 4WD is stuck and the tractor won't start, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the PTO lever is in the neutral position (lever backward).
2. Check if any debris or obstruction is preventing movement of the lever.
3. Inspect the PTO drive locking devices to ensure they are latched properly.
4. Verify that the tractor PTO shield and driveline guards are in place and functioning.
5. If the lever remains stuck, perform maintenance as outlined in the manual or contact a qualified technician for assistance.

If the problem persists, further inspection or professional service may be required.
