I am looking for some input My L3010 lugs down really easy, I understand how to run a hydro , I know its not a fuel petal. this will happen in mid range and even in low. I have checked or replaced all the normal filters , boost pump ran fuel cleaner , blue out the fuel lines. I even had it checked with a local mechanic who doesn't like hydro's and thinks the engine is just to small. he did boost the fuel up and claims its up to rating at the pto But that is not working the hydo at the same time right ? I really find it hard to believe my b9200 can outwork this all to hell ! I am convinced its some thing with the fuel its fine until you try to back up with the wheels turned to hard or slight incline or soft ground as soon as you need it to make HP it drops the rpm bad,. Could this be bad injectors is there a way to test the pressure or maybe a bad hydo pump? any help would be appreciated FYI the tractor was used with only 350 hrs when I got it 5 yrs ago

Make a video with audio of it doing what your talking about, Post it on YouTube, and give us a link to see / hear it.

Check to be sure fuel tank vent is open/not clogged. Many yrs ago I had a M4900 that lacked power. After I performed most common fuel diagnostics procedures the local Kubota dealer service manager advised me to closely inspect gallies in water separator housing. I found a small screen on fuel shut-off valve on WS housing clogged. Cleaned that tiny screen & lack of power problem was solved.

Thanks mine only has one filter but I will try running with the fuel cap loose to see if it makes any difference. I am certain that something is wrong it's not just too small a engine
