My Great Bend tractor always starts easily (after a period of non use), but after about 20 minutes, it will shut down. Once that happens, i can't get the engine to run again for about 5-6 minutes. Once it is firing and running again, the engine speed doesn't respond in accordance with the throttle. By that i mean, i can put the throttle all the way up and the engine will not accelerate. i tend to have to keep it completely down or the engine will shut off. after about 5-6 minutes of that, it will begin to respond a bit more then eventually be fine.
after another 20 minutes, the process repeats.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

I'm not familiar with the Great Bend tractors and all I could find when I tried looking them up was Great Bend loaders. Is it diesel or gas? If its diesel the fuel filter or line could be getting clogged up.
Could you get us a little more information about your tractor?
