I've only owned the tractor for 5-6 months and have put about 35-40 hours on it. I did change all the oil, etc and had it tuned up at the dealer before I used it so maybe it's time for all that again.

I only own one implement with a PTO and that's the mower but the work has been dusty so I could see where there may be issues with the air/fuel filter. I did check the mower and it does turn freely (the blades could use a sharpening however). The gearbox on the Bush Hog does get warm yet I can leave my hand (uncomfortably warm though)on it after mowing for a few hours. There is no dipstick or other means to check the oil in it. Any idea how I would do that? There is a plug on the side but obviously if I remove that the oil would come out.

I did have an issues with trach in the tank a couple months ago. I took it to the dealer where they charged me $240 (ouch) to siphon the fuel out and blow the debris out of the tank. It was a similar problem where the tractor would bog down but would "stall" slowly- just like it is running out of fuel. The new problem stalls the tractor VERY abruptly and is different then the previous problem.

Would an issue with the hyrostatic filters cause any problems like this?

I'll change air/fuel filters to see if it helps. Are there any online dealers to order the filters from?

Thanks for the help.
