I have a jd 4230 with syncro trans, the other day i was raising my son up in my loader, so he could clean out his gutters. The ground around his house slops away from his house. When I went to move to a different location I found that my trans was stuck in park. Luckily I was far enough away from the house that I could lower the loader and use it to take the pressure off of the trans/park and then it came out easily. It always works fine/as it should, as long as I don't put it in park when on a hill. My question is, is this right? Or is their a secret to getting it out of park when parked on a hill? Thanks in advance!!

On the 4020 you can pull the lever under spring tension , and put it into fwd or rev to let the pressure off. You can hear the spring release the park as you ease the clutch out. This is why I like the syncro over a power shift is this feature and the park holds better on the syncro too.

I don't know about the 4230, but my 20 series have a procedure outlined in the operators manuals. On them you move the lever, under spring pressure, into the first quadrant close to park(1-3-R), into whichever gear takes you uphill. Slowly let out the clutch, as tractor starts to move uphill, you can hear park lock snap out.

Our 4430 synchro has a decal on a cab post detailing how to get it out of Park if the lever gets stuck on an incline. It's essentially this:
1 - Move the range lever to "A". The lever will be hard to move, but it WILL move!
2 - Set shift lever to "1" if facing uphill, or "R1" if downhill.
3 - Let the clutch out slowly. As the tractor just begins to move you will hear a loud snap as the parking pawl disengages.
You are now good to go!
