Gentlemen
I know the subject of GR2100's and their weak Hydros has been beat to death, but I have one more question that I hope someone will be able to shed some light on. I have owned mine for about three years and it has only 73 hours on it. All maintainance has been performed as directed in the owners manual. This past summer I was trying to drag some old concrete blocks up from behind my bulkhead and it couldn't do it. The tractor was on grass and my question is; even thought it could not move the blocks, with the engine at WOT and the hydro pedal to the floor, should the wheels have spun? If I moved the steering wheel back and forth a bit the front ones would slip a little, but not the rears. Is the transmission really that weak, or is there a problem. I've read about the adjustments others have performed because of slow reverse (mine is also slow and I have had problems backing up hill with it) and I intend to try adjusting mine too, but I haven't as yet. Thank you gentlemen, any and all help is appreciated!
