If the engine is slowing in rpm's as the tractor slows and the parking brake is off, then it's probably a fuel delivery issue.
Any smoke?
If the RPM's only slightly drop it's either a worn / bad / slipping clutch disk,
or could be hydraulic fluid related.
When was the last full service and type of fluid used?

You are using the improper fluid. Go to your Kubota dealer and buy it there. Might (will be) be more expensive but you tractor will operate properly then. Ask for UDT2.

I know that Tractor supply says it's the same, but it's not, I've seen way too many issues because of that fluid, HST and GST's need really good fluid!
Spend a little more and get the right fluid and the right filter which is equally important!
I think you need to address both, Fuel delivery and fluid.
As it's not impossible to be fuel related and fluid related!

For the fuel issue remove to out put line off the filter and check flow then work your way back.
Also check that the jet start valve (bleeder on the side of the injection pump is closed and open bleeder will do exactly what your stating.

That sounds like normal behavior. Perhaps, you are just expecting too much or you have some type of drag like brakes dragging etc. Are you pulling something or is it the bare tractor?

Your issue is not related to fluids it is either low power/ fueling issues or you are asking too much from the machine. If heavily loaded you may have to back off on the HST pedal to maintain rpm's.
