I have an early 2000's model Simplicity 15.5hp 38" riding mower with the Tuff-Torq K51 Hydrostat. I bought it used earlier this year for mowing roughly 2/3acre. It has a really tight turning radius and the deck is small enough to fit through the pedestrian gate in my backyard fence.
The problem I have is that it barely moves in reverse. Forward seems to have plenty of power and speed, but backwards crawls and is totally gutless. It will not back up any grade at all.
I did a transmission oil change using Rotella T6 and it really didn't change anything one way or the other.
Has anyone seen anything similar in a Tuff-Torq?
Thanks,
Sam
