So, I bought a Kubota BX1500 a couple years ago, and it's been an awesome machine. Last year, while taking it into the meadow to do some mowing, there was a 'pop' sound, and a sudden loss of power. I checked the linkage, and the 'Rod Speed Change' K2561-42170 had come loose. So, I bought a new one, installed it, changed the hydraulic fluid and filter. ( kubota filter, super udt2 fluid ) and still have very little power. It's great on flat ground and down hill, but it doesn't want to climb like it used to!

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Reading all of the other threads about the BX1500 concerning loss of power, I must admit I'm a bit worried
