I was doing some loader work and experienced a problem.
First a brief description of normal operation. Forward and reverse pedals are easy to press and when I remove my foot the tractor comes to a stop quickly. I seldom use my brakes.
The problem: After about 90 minutes of loader work the pedals became progressively harder to press while working. The harder they got to press the more the engine would bog down to the point where I thought it would stall. When I removed my foot from the pedal the tractor continued to coast. I had to use the brake to stop.
I had to stop for a couple hours and when I came back everything worked as normal.
My guess is that it is a heat problem. Has anybody else experienced this and if so any suggestions on how to fix it? Oh and my cousin said his Kubota does something similar.
Thanks
Dave
Should have mentioned fluid levels are correct and all fluids and filters were changed before this season. The tractor is primarily used for mowing but it mostly sat this year do to our long drought. Probably has less that 20 hours on it since the fluids were changed.
