While moving brush with grapple for about 30 mins, I attempted to raise rpm's. With lever all the way down to full throttle, it would not go past 1500. I turned off and restarted 3x. No change. I turned it off and waited approximately 30 mins, and started her up and all is well. I ensured air filter was clean, which it was. Any idea what would cause this? It has happened before also.

This is a shot in the dark as I have no idea on that model-
Some engines- especially computer controlled ones- won't allow the motor past a certain RPM if the PTO is engaged. If the PTO was engaged or the computer thinks it's engaged it may not allow higher RPMs. It would take a switch adjustment or replacement if the PTO wasn't engaged.

PTO was not engaged. I was running a bush hog prior to grappling and it went all the way up to highest setting. Stopped bush hog and started grappling.

It's happened about 4-5x in 170 hours. Weird.

The 2555's need a reflash and have had some EGR problems. Has yours been reflashed? This is a known problem

The other shot in the dark would be the TPS/APPS (something that tells the computer the throttle position). With zero info about Mahindra motors from the dealer I'd just check it with an ohm meter. You may see a flat or dead spot - especially as you tap/shake/move the sensor.

I'm still wondering how the PTO/engine speed ties together.

I was referring to the tach, it says 540pto on dash.

The only time I ever had this happen was below 20F degrees during startup and when the tractor overheated - the computer will not allow the engine RPM's to raise until it is safe to do so.

Hmmm same vain- computer getting false data that prevents going over a specified RPM.
