John Deere z445
I have a 2007 Deere z445 zero turn with 260 hours on it that suddenly stopped moving forward correctly. It takes off just fine, but within 5 seconds, starts slowing and comes to a stop, even with the controls all the way forward. I can reset to neutral then take off again, but it repeats. It doesn't pull in either direction as it slows down, so I'd assume it's not the drive motors, but more of a valve or pump issue.

I checked fluid level and it was a little low, so I topped it off but that didn't help.

Anyone seen this before?
