  • / Tractor stalls goin uphill but works fine flat and downhill
I have the LGT2554 with the Kohler motor. It keeps stalling out after about 30 min of running and only stalls when going uphill. It did this to me last summer for about 3-4 mows and then worked fine again for the rest of the summer. It has worked fine this season until now. I can immediately move it to a flat or downhill location and it will start right up and run fine. It is right at the 100 hour mark. Is there any suggestions on what this might be?

If it has a low oil switch,that could be your problem. If so,try disconnecting it to see if the stalling stops. If that does the trick,try adding a little more oil. If that doesn't work,leave the switch disconnected and check the oil a little more often.
I have Hondas at work I have to leave the switches disconnected for safely reason. They are run on side hills as often as on flats. Nice sales gimmick but a PITA most of the time.
