Thanks for sharing. It was a bit of a rabbit hole but we got er done.

It was the coil on one of the cylinders. No spark on the one side so I was running only 1 cylinder. Was a bear to remove shroud and get it done, but when I fired it up it went uphill with PTO no problem. Learned a lot about the process and my tractor and glad I didnt have to pay someone else to...

Thanks again, slowly weeding my way thru this. I replaced the plugs but didnt correctly check plug for spark on both sides. One sparks, the other doesnt. I switched out plugs reverse with the one from other side that sparked and it also sparked on the good side. Before changing fuel tank I...

Carburetor replaced but still bogging down with pto going uphill or uneven grades. I had previously disabled the operator presence sensor under seat but I reconnected to see if there’s any fluctuation and it seemed to run a tad better uphill (with PTO) but it still bogs down. I’m really confused...

Interesting you say that. I’ve always wondered if that interferes with engine shutoff but never power. Have you had this?

I’m going the carburetor route. Since there’s no power issue when PTO is off either uphill or downhill maybe it’s the float or clogged port in carb. Will keep posted.

Thanks again. I tried an experiment. I filled fuel tank full as I could get leaving 3 inches in neck of tank leading to cap. Full throttle with no PTO runs great no power reduction up and down hill, and even in reverse. Does this rule out fuel system clog possibility? PTO engages and uphill...

Thanks for the replies. All filters have been replaced. Pulse pump replaced. Next thought would be to check lines but if lines were clogged wouldn’t that affect operation on flat terrain? The fuel filter isn’t upside down or horizontal either. Read on some threads where the low power was thought...

Hello-new to the site and trying to diagnose what’s wrong with my lawn tractor. Bought a Kubota GR2010 with just over 600 hours and it bogs down when I drive up a hill or uneven terrain. If I’m going down a hill it’s running great with or without PTO. Up a hill or angled grade feels like it...
