Good afternoon.
I'm a newbie with an 'oldie' Kubota.
I have a 1986 G6200, 16hp diesel w/48 deck.
It runs and cuts great for 15 minutes or so, but then will bog down if blades are engaged. If I stop moving and/or disengage blades, I can 'catch' engine and keep from stalling, but it will continue to bog if blades are engaged and tractor is in motion. Tractor does not need to be actually cutting for it to bog down, the blades just need to be engaged and tractor moving. If I shut down tractor and let it cool, I can get another 15 good minutes out of it, then bogging returns. Temp is fine, nowhere near running too hot per guage. Could this be caused by belt heating up and slipping? Any other ideas? Whatever help you could provide is appreciated!
PS - thanks to Sargeant for recomending this forum. TONS of info here!
