I have a newer L3200 with 160 hours on it. I have two acres that turns to a weed patch every spring. While operating my brush hog at 500-540 RPM, I get about 3/4 of the way done and engine power starts rapidly dropping off as if it is fuel starved. I have checked and replaced the fuel filter, bled the fuel system with the fuel bleed valve. If it stops, sometimes it will start right back up and other times I have to wait a minute or so to get back up to speed. I have had the same situation occur when I leveling a pad for a 25'x50' trailer cover I was building. I would sink the rippers then go back and skim off the dirt that I need. I have a aftermarket top link and tilt kit I installed that works beautifully. This issue only seem to occur after prolonged heavier than normal loading, but in no way excessive loading. Any clues from you folks? Thanks in advance for any advice you might be able to give me. Also, it is not the seat switch. When it starts to die I feather the throttle lever back and forth and it seems to catch up most of the time.
