I have a 1997 Lb1914 with 650 hours on it.
When I pull my 5 ft. Rhino finish mower, it bogs the tractor until it stalls.
I have always run it in 5th gear, mowing grass that is about 6" tall and it has always done fine. If I run tractor with blade, rake, single bottom plow, it does fine.
Mower seems to really bog it down.
Deck turns freely, spindles are fine, doesn't seem to be in the deck.
It acts like governor isn't working properly?
Maybe injectors?
Any other ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Ready to mow but not enough giddy up and go!

Any chance you have a hydraulic selector lever in the wrong position? This is how my CK acts when I remove the backhoe and forget to move the hydraulic remote selector lever into the neutral position.

Have you checked your air filter and fuel filter lately?

I have new filters, made no difference.
Checked relief valve, it is not the problem.
Pulled a single bottom plow with it, it seems fine.
Hooked the finish mower up and it will still almost stall out in anything
thats a little high.
Thanks for the replies!

Make sure you are operating the Rear PTO in the 540 rpm speed. The 1000 rpm speed will definitely bog the tractor since you have 1/2 the torque. May not be good for the mower deck either.
