B2320 transmission Problems

[waggy5]

Hi, I have a 2011 kubota B2320 Hydrostatic with 4 wheel-drive. When the tractor is in 2wd and you press the forward pedal the tractor just barely moves forward like it is under strain, it just does not want to budge. However, if you press the reverse pedal the tractor seems to work fine in reverse and it has power to pull the tractor backwards the wheels will even spin and pull the tractor all over the place in reverse. Push the forward pedal and the tractor does not want to move. When I put the tractor in 4wd the front wheels will pull the tractor forward and will spin while the rear wheels do not spin. The front wheels do all of the work while the rear wheels do nothing or barely anything to help. If you put the tractor in 4wd and press down the reverse pedal front and rear wheels seem to work fine.
Anybody got an idea of what may be wrong with my little B2320?
thanks

Start with something overly simple... Is the parking brake on?

My daughter's BX had linkage problems (a bolt loosened up) in the hst pedal. Hers had similar symptoms but I don't know that 4wd /2 wd made a difference.

This is also my first thought.

Did you try it with the diff lock on? I know my 2620 will move around just fine with the parking brake on. Ask me how I know :duh:
