I have a B2320 with about 110 hours on it. yesterday i went to use it and it only moved a few feet before it would go. the only way i could get it to move was in 4wd. It's a hydrostatic trans. it will move down hill, but the slightest incline and it won't move. i'm in louisa va and it's been down to 3 and 4 degrees at night. yesterday when i went to use it, it was in the 20's. i ran it for about 20 minutes and still it would go in 2wd. any thoughts.
Won't go in 2wd

Well, as we learned a couple weeks ago here on OTT, your rear wheels (rims) could be spinning inside the actual tire. Sounds hard to believe but try to lean over, without shutting engine off and see if rims are turning... also what happens when you step in the diff lock.

It may very well be frozen condensation and it may be something else. Why not observe before spinning wrenches...
I think the thread below relates well to the problem stated here.

thanks for the link steve and to quote FREDGARVIN "OMG, OMG OMG...Pete was right!!!"
turns out the right rim was turning. i'm sure the temperature had something to do with it, but what exactly caused it. it does have liquid in it, but i can't remember what it is.

Good question BD, possibly because it's colder than it has been in the east for a few years, under inflated tires, gremlins, but it does seem more than a co-inkidink!
