I have a brand new TC55DA with 10 hours on it.. I had a sprayer on the back and had the RPM up to about 2000 and as I drove and sprayed the tractor would just start to loose power and die. If I slowed down and put it in neutral I could recover it before it died but it would not rev up for a little bit and just chugged. I tried that with the PTO on and off and it still did it either way. But if I got off the tractor and turned the RPM up real high for the PTO and let it run it did not stall only when I was driving.. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Bill

Sounds like a fuel filter is plugged with water or dirt or debris. Remove filter and clean. then see if that cures problem. You may have gotten some bad fuel.

While you're spun around could you be lifting part of your weight off the seat? I had a case while snow blowing where my engine was cutting out and made a determination that that's what was happening in my case. Sometimes I wonder if it would be a good idea to just bypass the seat switch.

When my Nh 7610s did that it was fuel starvation..

Check water traps and filters.. check fuel level.. and flow from tap.. might be a plugged tank tap screen ( mine was ).. bleed lines and try her out.
