Fuel system ok. Throttle up to 2600 no problem runs smoothly idling also seems either a hydraulic issue or maybe even a regeneration problem. Can’t get it in at dealership till fall helpple

Not sure it's helpful but, for passenger vehicles, I've been taught to troubleshoot the three parts of combustion. 1) Fuel- you mention that's OK 2) Air - check air filter 3) Fire- check spark plugs

I'm new to hydraulic systems, so not sure how that fits in.

More details needed before being able to offer any advice.
Does it cut out when you step on the GO pedal?
Does it act differently depending if you are sitting on the seat.
Does it run the pto OK? Mid pto?
Why do you suspect a hydraulic problem?

Did this problem start recently?
Does it do it when backing up?
Are any trouble codes showing up on the display?
Carefully check fuses. Some are related to the function of the OPC aka Operator Presence Controller.

These problems are usually safety switch related. The OPC system detecs an unsafe conditoin and stops the engine. When a safety switch is out of adjustment or has failed the OPC sees this as a safety condition needing engine shut down

Checked the seat safety switch it’s ok when starting cold it’ll go fine for about 200 yards then when starting to pull the hill it loses power and starts missing kinda or stalling

How do you know the fuel system is good? When was the last time you changed the fuel filter? Air filter clean? Then answer Dave's questions.

Change the fuel filter, even if it "looks good". A lot of times the problem with the fuel filter is not visible to the eye.

Changed filters even took the water separator bowl off unhooked fuel lines and blew air through the bowl housing to ensure no blockage

Did you clean the line from the water separator to the fuel tank and the fitting at the tank? It really sounds like a fuel delivery issue.
