Is the tractor a hst? Is this your first hst?

You have to BACK OFF the go pedal when the engine starts lugging. NOT push harder....which is usually first intuition for someone never having operates a HST

Yeah its an hst. I back way off on the pedal to gain more torque, but it doesn’t seem to be enough in my soil.

My little 24hp sub-compact is struggling to maintain rpm‘s when pulling a 4-foot tiller or 1-bottom moldboard through the garden. I have just about decided it’s too small for my purposes, though I like it’s tight dimensions. Is this consistent behavior for such a small tractor? Do they all wimp out, or is my engine failing to produce the horsepower it should? Last tractor I owned was 3X this large; this is my first tiny machine.
Make sure you have adequate fuel delivery to the engine.
