Kioti 3054; transmission. Second gear feels like first.

Doing some mowing this afternoon. Half way thru, second gear seemed to go no faster than first gear. Otherwise normal. Transmission oil level seems okay (even a bit high); engine oil okay.

Any suggestions? It was quite hot; maybe grass/dust on screen by radiator.

Brake stuck? Maybe something got wedged in linkage.

Wow, it's been a time. No nothing like that, nothing stuck in the brake. Here, two years later, it's the same issue. Second gear is very close to first. I picked a RPM, and ran between two trees about 50 yards apart, and timed it on my smart phone (well, not so smart, but that's what it said). Second gear was maybe 2 or 3 seconds shorter than in First gear. So, what do I do about this.??? Please advise, guys.
