Hello , Guys. Having a little problem with my girl today. I went out to push some snow today here in va . before I started I let her warm up for 30 min or so pushed snow for about an hour and a half with no problems on the way back to the house she started to run poorly and almost cut off . It would not take fuel well by either hand or foot . I had to put her in low And run in first gear to get up the hill home . I'm thinking fuel,fuel filter or even trash in line or tank .Wanted to pass this around to someone to see if I maybe over looking something else ,or someone else has had this problem before . Thank you for your time, Kevin

Sound like a fueling problem. Fuel jelled? Filter restricted? Water in fuel? All things to consider.

If fuel filter hasn't been changed in a while, I'd start there. Might add some Power Service 911, bleed system and see what you have.

I agree to look closely at the fuel. Don't forget to check the air filter too.

Maybe iced/snowed up. I'm not familiar with the B2150 regarding the air filter mounting and location, but some other model tractors have had problems with snow getting in/around air filter.

I think it might be worth draining the fuel tank and thoroughly clean it and either replace or clean out the fuel lines, fuel is cheap in the scheme of things, you need to get the crap out of your system. Then ensure you fill up with winter diesel, and make sure you don't leave summer diesel in it for next winter, unless you treat it.
