JD 3720 CUTS HST Sluggish

[Beltzington]

Yesterday while finishing up some mowing I noticed starting in both forward and reverse seemed to require more pedal than normal. At first I thought I had left the parking brake on as I occasionally do but that was not the case. Once the tractor starts moving operating speeds seem normal. Hydraulic fluid is at the full mark and looks clean and does not smell burnt. I am still 100-hours from the transmission fluid and filter service interval and 300 hours from replacing the inline hydraulic filter.
Any recommendations?

Might be time to service the filter and clean the screen.

What parts cleaning fluid do folks use for hydraulic components?

Gasoline is what I use. With care, of course.

Motion match happened to get changed?

I'm the only one who drives it and it has a good battery so I do not see how it would have changed but something I should check. Unfortunately I don't recall where I had it set, can't recall important details since the concussion

Thanks

I think you'll find directions in your operators manual under the "operating" section on how to change the "motion match" settings using the display mode switch and the turn signal switch if you don't have the optional switch on the fender.
The settings are from 1~9, One being neck jerking to 9 being "I think I can move but I'm not sure when"
Keep in mind, it's a #$&* computer that only understands 0's and 1's and you're a rational, intelligent human being trying to talk to it. Keep the faith. I chose #2. Seems right for me.

I have to look at mine because when idling slow sometimes the tractor won't move until I rev it up. Thanks for the input; it is something I never heard of and had the tractor 5 years,

Mine is dead at idle (B range) too but it snaps to life at 14 or 1500. It might s-l-o-w-l-y move if it's sitting on the cement floor at idle but certainly not out in the yard. I wouldn't think selecting 1 in motion match will help that. Just always figured that was a function of oil flow and pressure. (or lack of)

Maybe, but my 4300 HST is responsive to forward and reverse pedal at any rpm, including idle. just sayin...
