Default Hydro Problem?

I recently bought a 5234D. It has 275 hours. I don't know if the PO serviced anything. The brakes were not working at all and only needed adjusted.

While driving it in high range with no load, it has an occasional, barely noticeable jerk/hesitation. Twice, when I took off from a stop, it hesitated for a 1/2 second, then took off. I don't know much about hydro's, but it acts like an auto trans low on oil or stopped up filter.

The hydro fluid level is where it should be. If the filters haven't been changed, could that cause these symptoms? In any case, I'm intending to change the fluid and filters.

Yes, fluid and filter can cause that issue. A hydrostat is very different from an automatic transmission.

Maybe this will help you understand the fundamentals of a hydrostatic trans.

changing the fluid/filter is always the first step when your having issues with a hydro, start there and let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.

Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty busy these days. I'm gone 5 days a week. I have a 1/4 acre garden as well as other chores to do on the weekend.

I'll change everything when I can and see if that fixes it.

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.
