Are the wheels spinning and you're not moving, or is the clutch/HST slipping and the wheels won't spin?

its the wheels not spinning

Pump, hydraulic motor or clutch problems??

Clutch should smell.

Is your B7100 hydro drive or gearshift?

 

[elmsdaletractor]

If the engine is running fine, it becomes a power transfer problem so it must be a clutch problem since it moves otherwise. Is there a burning smell?

Are you using high or low range? In high range my B1550 can barely climb over its own shadow.

If its a HST, clean the metal mesh filter that feeds oil to the tranny. That made a huge difference to the power on mine. Ask if you need assistance finding it. Its low down on the left hand side and just looks like a large bolt head. (I'm not talking about the screw-in disposable can filter.)
