transmission???

[lucks]

Today I went uphill with my tractor (Branson 3820) and I had almost no rear. The more I pusthed the gas the worse it got. I tried everythig.. the only way how I got up the hill was that I went very slow. It had never done this before. I tried to find the transmission fluid, but I didnt.
Any suggestions what it might be??
Thanks!

I presume it's a HydroStaticTransmission (HST)?

If so, you had too high a range for the load. My Kubota does this all the time in "H" when the load is too great for the power available. The best way I can describe it is "converter stall", the engine get's lugged down by the HST system to a point it cannot recover from. The only thing that works for me while under power is to REDUCE the speed demand (let up on the pedal) so the engine can catch up to demand (engine speed setting remains the same). Once I regain control, I gradually stop and move the range lever to "L".

Ditto :thumbsup: ModMech.
Try dropping to a lower range when going up hill.
