it sounds like somthing is wrong, beyond an operator problem. I'd take it back to the dealer you bought it from.

Yeah I just called the dealer in my area who is looking at it now and he said it is fine. Nothing wrong with it at all. So I am going to go get it tomorrow and test it the best possible in their parking lot. Maybe ask them if I could drive another one and see how it performs, maybe I will just always be disappointed with the tractor not able to do what I think it should be able to.
It does not sound right but something to consider is the unit is quite heavy for the hp. You are up around the 150#/hp which is a low power to weight ratio.

Kuboman,
Yeah it is a low power to weight ratio, but my firned L3400 makes mine look bad, and my dad's John Deere 2305 being able to back drag 6inches of dirt in high at 1800rpms and me stalling to do so in medium at 2800rpms. Just really disappointed. however the dealer who has it now says it runs perfect, So I am praying that there was a little water in the fuel, or a piece of dirt or something that cleared. If it does it when I bring it home tomorrow I will start changing out the filters, and disconnecting attachments to see where the problem lies... Just sucks for a new tractor to have issues like this.

I am sure you will get it remedied. Let us know how it is when you get it back.:thumbsup:

If possible have them check for a pinched fuel line from tank to pump as they have been prone to tightening the zip ties too much.

Try operating it in low range instead of medium. The way you are describing the operation something isn't right. I do most of my operating digging in low range. I will scoop out of a pile of loose dirt in mid range.

Ok I went to the dealers, and drove the tractor around the parking lot... and it was like a new tractor. The dealer said they did not do a thing to the tractor. So I was still not sold that it was fixed, but brought it home and in medium or mid gear, turned a hugh pile of dirt, then knocked over a few trees that I needed to clear (and tried before but could not do it even in low) then played on the L4400 til dark. So either whatever was wrong cleared up on the trip to the dealer, or the few days outside in the dealer lot reminded my Kubota how much nicer it is in the garage. But tractor fixed and life is good... Thanks everyone for input and help I have learned a lot these last few days reading all the post.

Also does anyone know if the pressure test kit that was advertised on here is any good? Just would like to have it to test if something else goes wrong. Thanks again
