I had a 149 that did that,, so I went to a JD dealer,, when the 430 JD was new,,
(That was JD's version of a Super Cub Cadet)
I asked the salesman to demonstrate how the 430 could go up a hill,, without the lever going back to neutral,,
this is on a brand new machine,, mind you,
The salesman drove the 430 up an incline, the lever went to neutral.
The salesman stated the machine simply needed an adjustment,,
I said,, I have my checkbook ready, adjust the machine so it will go up an incline,, I will buy it,,
That was 30 years ago,, I am STILL waiting for delivery,,, of that "adjusted machine"
Plan on holding the lever on steep grades,,,
