North of tremonton. We have alot of snow here. Far more than previous years

 

[Roxasuras]

Greatest Snow on earth

Tractor pulled Roxor, Chevy and Ford out. The can Am was on his own

Any of you guys have issues starting the rox in the cold. So twice I can start it just fine but as I push in the clutch to put into gear the clutch won't engage to put into gear. Grinds in every gear. So I turn it off put in gear with clutch in and start it and it acts like clutch isn't in. What is my solution. I eventually put it in gear and pressed clutch and it engage and started. I have done some snow wheeling, Clutch fluid is full? Took it for a long cold drive yesterday once I got it free to maybe warm up and melt any snow

You are probably experiencing Ice build up around your clutch fork. There have been a few complaints about this. It will limit movement not letting the clutch fully disengage. In some cases people have experienced a broken slave cylinder from putting too much pressure on the cutch pedal trying to get the clutch to disengage when frozen.

I would imagine letting it idle long enough would eventually melt everything and allow the clutch to disengage property.

Now this makes more sense, thanks Max. After the leat time it did this I braved the cold and drive it to town and back and that problem has never shown up again. Still winter here hoping to get it out more

Letting a unit sit for extended periods of time, expecially damp areas will cause a clutch to freeze up, especially those that like to make submarines out of their toys.
Some tractors come stock with a small lever to keep the clutch disengaged when sitting. As the clutch is hydraulicly applied, you might consider fabbing up a small rod to slip in by the clutch slave cyl to keep the disk free when sitting.
