This question is age old. This is normal. It is a hydrostatic transmission, not an automatic. It will lose some speed on hills, you just have to get used to it. Not saying that it can't be improved somewhat, depending on how bad it is. But, unless your losing a lot of power (I.E. you have to move the speed lever to almost max) it is normal.
