got #4 today

[Cameron670 33]

So far I have run it about a half hour. Power steering was cool......at first.....then when I began mowing,  I realized it is not "tight".   It doesn't hold a straight line.... Anyway.   52" deck 800 hrs.  The purpose of this post is the next question.

           the hydro is jerky & odd at low speeds.......lunges & bucks constantly.  At mowing speed, no trouble.  I would not do forward and reverse work with anyone watching.. It would be embarasing. The previous owner changed the hydro filter, (toro brand)..... Deck lift is crisp and fast. Nothing is getting abnormally warm. (also have a 520xi).    I will post pics a little later.   I have tried to research these symptoms earlier today, but couldn't find much. Probably wrong search words. I am sure there are a number of  (clears throat....) "words"  used to discuss this topic.  I plan on taking the seat, tank, and tin off, to clean it early next week. Trying to poll the audience to get a game plan.   Overall, got a fair deal.

So tell me....what model tractor you talking about?

Pics and what is it?

We would rather be overwhelmed with model info by an owner, that left scratching our heads and speculating over vague descriptions.

We're a picky bunch about that sort of stuff.......

 

"got #4 today" tells us zero, zip, nada...............

Ah yes, the language mysteries continue..........

I'm not familiar with that series or hydro trannys but the first thing I'd do is flush out the fluids and refill with the specified amount. Get everything adjusted according to the manual and see what that does for it.

OK....I know I'm probably the Bad Guy here for somewhat harassing your initial, and subsequent statements.

All I'm going to add is: if you have a question, ask it in such a way it doesn't unnecessarily create questions about what you really mean.

I.E.   .......................don't be cute and evasive.

Don't talk about "tags" when you get asked about what model you are referring to.

Just say what you have.

Comprendo???

It really isn't that difficult.....

 

If you are more straightforward, you'll begin to really unearth the treasure of info here at RS.

 

Regards,

Steve

Steve,

 

Wasn't trying to be cute or evasive..(deep sigh)....Short & direct, definitely.....I don't like to waste others time.  My original question is posted clearly in the second paragraph of my original post.  

            Furthermore,  I asked a very similar & direct question in the transmission section, with zero helpful responses.

 

     It is difficult to convey "tone of voice" in situations such as this.  The condescending nature of our first interaction is noted.

I hope you find a solution, and I'm curious what the problem is.

 

Google bucking or jerky hydrostatic transmission, and you will get lots of people having similar problems with other transmissions. So, it may not be unique to the xi. Maybe you can find a solution that way.
