Default ZTS1-46 - Hydrostatic Transmission Issues

Just bought this new in October 2023. Used it once after buying and then it sat in the garage until this spring. Used it on Wednesday (April 17th) and notice reverse peddle going completely down with only a very weak reverse, a bit of shuttering (air in system?) and mainly right wheel spinning when steering wheel (yes, this is a ZTS1, not a typical ZT1). Forward seemed OK, possibly a bit weaker, but again this was the 2nd time using it.

Watched a bunch of YouTube Videos on how to bleed air from the transmissions by putting the tractor in by-pass (where you can roll the tractor) and then putting it in forward and reverse for about 5 seconds in either direction about 6 times. No improvement. I believe there is NO Resivor for tranny fluid (sealed unit) and I don't expect the fluid leaked as there is no fluid on the concrete floor of the garage that it sat in over the winter.

Suggestions? Could not get any assistance on the Cub Cadet (MTS) support phone or website's texts on April 18th trying several times during their 8:30 am to 5:00 pm hours (maybe their systems were down on the 18th?)

Suggestions appreciated

I would suggest you take it back to the dealer you purchased it from, as it is still under a warranty.
Now if you bought from a big box store like Blows or Home Cheepo,
I would suggest you contact them, of course they will send you to a authorized Repair dealer.
Sorry I can't help you more, as my familiarity is with the good old metal
equipment of yesteryear.
Possibly you kept your old mower, so you can use it till the new one repaired.

I agree with ol'George take it back to the dealer Unless Box store Purchase Then find a Cub Dealer and Take it there or have them pick it up. This sounds Like a warranty issue

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
