I have a 2021 UForce 800. Machine has been relatively trouble free. The past couple days, it has started jumping out of low when I am plowing. No snow packed in anywhere. It’s like I have to slam it into low to get it to stay and that doesn’t seem like a good thing. Is this a linkage adjustment or something else? I have to find my service manual to see what all is involved but wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this.

Most often its a shifter linkage adjustment. Also, as CFM rubber-mounts it's engines on rubber mounts, the more one shifts between reverse and a forward position, as you would plowing snow, the more those rubber mounts get torque-slammed and the quicker the wear out. When they get too loose they tend to pull on the shifter rod and as the shifter is locked in a position with it's gate, the more often it will be pulled..or pushed.. out of the transmission's detent. Better check them too. Doing this also tends to bend..then break.. the shifter fork in the transmission if it happens under too much load. Let's hope that hasn't happened.

Thanks you sir. I’m hoping it’s the adjustment. I’ve only plowed with it 4-5 times and I don’t beat on it. I’ll check everything out when it gets a bit warmer. We’re going to be in single digits for a week or so.
