Hydrostatic Slow Reverse and questin the Power

[JagAlfaOwner]

I noticed last summer it felt like I was going slower in reverse. This winter I have had 2 snow falls. I put a Blade on my rear PTO and push the snow. So, in the winter I mostly use reverse. This past snow fall I found myself floored in reverse and just moving. I got it done but I am worried something is wrong. In a way it feels like the brake is on but I checked that (I have left the brake locked so I do not use the Brake Lock pedal when I leave it). I have it in full time 4 wheel drive.

It has 450 hours. I did the 300 hour service using NH filters and oil. I checked the Hydrostatic oil and it might be a little over filled. It has been 2 years since I changed the filter and oil as I use it mostly for mowing in the summer of 2 acres, Any thoughts? Should I change the filter or take it to my NH Dealer?

There is usually an adjustable stop that limits the motion of the reverse pedal. In some designs, debris can pack around the stop and critically restrict the pedal. Check for this.
