Here is more information on power problems - maybe you can help me determine if this is a hydro issue or an engine issue. When I set my rpms for 2000 rpms and put it into high or middle gear and then accelerate, the tractor starts to accelerate but then gradually slows down. The thing that I notice is that when I slow down, the motor rpms also go down - way down (500 - 700 rpms). If the hydro filter was plugged (needed changing), wouldn't that just affect the transmission power/speed and not the engine rpms? The other thing I notice, is that it begins to smell hot and pushes a little black smoke (not much - very hard to see). The temp guage shows operating in the green (the needle doesn't even get to the middle of the green).
As far as the filters & fluid, all were changed 50 hours ago.
Maybe this will help spark some other ideas - or maybe stay with filters needing to be changed.
Thanks!!!
