I don't always get home before dark, and I thought a video would go a mile where my text would only go an inch here, so I shot a video even though it was dark. I realize it is of poor visual quality, but I think it should suffice to show the fact that it wasn't moving and the engine was revving and getting pulled down but no spinning or moving, just noise and heat.</p>
If it's needed, I'll try and take another video in the daylight if I have a chance.</p>
</p>
Also, 07Rhino. My email account has likely changed since I first registered on this site. I'll check to see if I can edit it, if not, just post the information on the forum for now if that's acceptable. </p>
And Thanks.</p>

Watching your video does it do it in med/high as well going forward, if all is well foreward you might have a faulty reverse relief valve. But we can test that when you get set up to start checking pressures.</p>

It does it forward or backward, although it's obviously worse in Reverse. It will stall like that in "L" if I
put a load in the bed, although it doesn't do it nearly as bad now that
I turned that throttle stop all the way in a little while back in hopes
of getting more "throw" out of the hydro control linkage. </p>
I have attributed the problem with reverse to the fact that it seems to have a higher ratio (numerically lower) in reverse than in low. I haven't gone out and fully tested it yet, but I would bet you the machine runs faster at WOT (flat ground) in reverse than it does in forward.</p>
</p>
One
question though... Why did Kubota feel it necessary to actually even
have a reverse "gear" in the first place? Wouldn't it have been
easier to simply push the hydro in the opposite direction and use the
same forward ratios... just in reverse, much like a tractor would?
Being that the hydrostatic unit can't tell the difference between the
ratios you choose in the trans, why would it be any different in
Reverse than in "L" "M" or "H"? </p>
I'll try to get you my email address. But I think a phone conversation would go miles farther (quicker).</p>
And Thanks.</p>
