B2301 stalls when backing up a hill

[rossboyle52]

i‘m new to this forum as well as being new to Kubota ownership. (Crossed over from Mahindra) My 2301 stalls when backing up a short hill driveway in mid range and hesitates doing the same in low range. Fuel tank is full so I don’t think it lack of fuel. Any idea what is causing this?

When I'm backing up steep hills, I have a tendency of shifting my weight forward a bit to keep from sliding off the seat, often triggering the seat sensor which will shut the engine down. I have to make a constant effort to keep my butt planted firmly. Any chance it's something simple like that?

That may well be the solution! I will try it today! Thanks
