That sounds like a pressure relief going off. If it were me, I would be inclined to ask Terry about it. It may be internal to the pump, so there may not be anything to do about it.The wheel motors will stop, then intermittently turn it little bit, then stop. That’s the best way I can explain it. It just seems like the pump for the wheel motors is exhausted, then there will be a short outburst of power to the wheels, then stop again. It’s that sort of cycle.
The reason her yard is so steep is because the excavator done things he shouldn’t have when her home was being built. Although, if it was me I would not mow that part of the yard. Her John Deere 322 (sorry about the mixup with the 318) stopped running when she was going up over the yard years ago, and then she said her brakes quit working and the tractor went down the hill backwards. She wrecked and busted herself up pretty good, and the tractor.
I have to admit to a similar tractor story once, which is why I love automatic brakes.
All the best,
Peter
