P1000 Will not roll forward or backwards.

[-Bear-]

I have had the P1000 for over a year now and love it. We had a bunch of snow this weekend and I attempted to go out and plow. I started it and gave it about 10 minutes to warm up while I put the winter doors on the cab. After I finished, I jumped in and put it in reverse. I press the gas and went nowhere. I put it in drive and the same thing. I just had the 3000 mile and 2-year maintenance done at the dealership. The 2 year maintenance changes all the fluids from what they told me. I called the dealership back today and they said that is normal for cold weather and it just needs to build oil pressure. Is that really normal? I remember last winter not having anything like this happen in much colder weather. Any input is welcomed.

I live in Northern Minnesota and that hasn't happened to me. I do keep it in a 40ish degree garage. I plow snow with it all winter.

Check for shift lever movement at the sub-trans.

I took the seat off and removed the liner so I could watch it. The shift lever and cable move the arm on the trans as it is supposed to.

Are you getting any error codes?

sounds like the clutch is not engaging. Notice any loose wires etc around the sub trans etc?

I did not notice any wires loose, but I also did not look for any wires either. I will look at that today when I leave work. My oil light is on now.
