What am I missing? I'm trying to run my MMM 60" and a 3pt Trac Vac off the rear pto at the same time (my old JD 4100 handled this no problem). For some reason when I get to a hill my Tractor drops rpms quickly and I lose almost all power. It's acting like the tractor just can't handle both...which I can't hardly believe. I must be missing something...any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Check your air cleaner to make sure it is not dirty. Have you changed the fuel filter? Make sure the brakes aren't sticking on.

My tractor has 292 hours and runs perfectly with only one of the attachments hooked up. I tried running the tractor in Low and Medium ranges with both acting the same way while i am attempting to run the mower deck and collect leaves at the same time. When I only run one or the other the power returns. My last service was at 250 hours. I am just shocked how much power I lose on the hill...as everyone else, my Kubota has been a beast for me. Thanks for offering advice.

According to various spec's, your tractor has 19 pto hp. or 26 engine hp.
The track vac requires 13.5 pto hp
That only leaves 6.5 hp to propel the tractor and run the mmm.
In short you dont have the required power to do what you are trying to do.
You might want to consider a vac with its own engine.
