Wear pants and long sleeves. 😏

Bee-positive are you referring to the tractor or me? Funny, WSM shows 6.2 for medium on HST.

Results of speed test - treadle on stop (yes, it’s not an accelerator pedal) Tires aired, brakes off, 3-pt hitch down, loading arms (no implement) 18”-24” off ground, hydraulic fluid in range. PTO (P) [~2000-2100] / Full (F) [~2350] RPM High gear - 2&4WD - P 10 / F 11 mph Medium gear - 2&4WD...

Did you get a chance to try the approach I mentioned? Or has that already been your approach?

Thanks Grandad4. I’ll be checking all these ideas this weekend - hopefully. It could all be in my mind. At least that’s what one of the voices in my head keeps saying. All of the others keep telling me to ignore it.

How quickly are you lifting the seat when you get up? If you hesitate for just an instant between taking your weight off the seat and taking the seat off the safety switch it will result in the engine dying. I grab the back of the seat and lift it as I rise from the seat all in one fluid motion.

Jimh406 - I stick to maintenance schedule religiously. It calls for air and fuel filter to be cleaned every 100 hours. Given my dusty area, I added the smaller, internal air filter and blow out the larger one often. I tend to change it out the external one every 75 hours or so. I’d have to...

I have a 2019 L2501, HST, with 300 hours. It’s not a speed demon but it seems lately it isn’t moving as fast as it once did at same RPM with or without load, especially in Medium (it has L-M-H range). I’m not talking bogging down or loss of power it just seems slower than before. WSM...

I don‘t know the answer but based on description you have listed I’d start by checking the linkages tied to the treadle. Sounds like something isn’t connected anymore. Edritchey provided a WSM. Page 2M-8 may be a good place to start.

May not be the answer but easiest and cheapest to eliminate. Just because the radiator fins look clean doesn’t mean there isn’t dirt build up in them. Give them a good rinsing out (back to front) with water. I spray simply green on mine and let it set for 10 minutes or so and then rinse.

Got it. it does work. The next crop are non or distant relatives.

Since there was a “next crop” does that mean it is effective? I would think parents bit the dust before the next crop. Or, the next generation treated it like candy?

Agree with Russell King. In Texas, the left lane is supposed to be solely for passing slower drivers in the right lane. Unfortunately, too many think it’s “their lane” to stay in. My father taught me many years ago not to be in the left lane unless you were passing something in the right...

I’ll bet someone’s farm, not mine, that the radiator fins are not as clean as they appear. Like D2CAT mentioned, spray both sides with, he mentioned Purple Power, I use Simple Green, and let it sit 10 minutes or so. Rinse with low pressure water from the back side first. Rinse the front and...

I agree with NIW. If you spray and immediately cut what you sprayed the weed never has the chance to “ingest” the poison. Without that process the roots never die. They send the nutrients they make back to the part that still exists and the weed continues on.
