my Maxxum 150 tractor somehow becomes annoying because of its problems
first, the speedometer is inaccurate, it reads too fast, like 40 plus MPH at road speed
when sitting with the PTO on, It gets an erratic speed signal, and I get an alarm because the park brake is on (only when the PTO is on)

the second issue is that the pto shaft wobbles when I put it on my batwing mower. the dealer checked it last week, they put a new stub shaft in. it helped, but only for like an hour and it's back like before
I believe the Shaft on the mower is straight because it doesn't shake on any other tractors. the shaft runs smooth on my grain auger
 
I totally understand that frustration! I once had a tractor with a speedometer that was always way off, and it drove me crazy until I finally learned to just ignore it. I also had to deal with a PTO wobble on an old mower; the dealer's fix didn’t last long, so I ended up switching tractors for that task. It often feels like these little quirks just hang around no matter what you try.
