Hydrostatic problems?

[RogerB]

Hi everyone, and thanks in advance! I have a Cub Cadet 7275 that is hydrostatic drive. This is my first tractor and as such I do not know alot about them. Anyhow my problem is that awhile back I was mowing my pasture and my power steering suddenly got hard to steer and I also noticed sometimes when I push the forward pedal to the floor the tractor seemed to bog down. I have not had the tractor long ( about 25 hours ) so I decided to change the fluid and filters, both hydraulic and hydrostatic. The steering is better but still while in medium or high range and pushing the pedal to the floor the engine strains and the tractor slows down. I used oem filters but did use Traveler brand hydro fluid from Tractor Supply it was labeled as a Hy Tran replacement. Anyhow thanks in advance for any feedback.

I am not familiar with your tractor ,but some tractors have a screen filter that also needs to be cleaned . Maybe you can find some info ,or maybe someone else will know.
