B8200HST trans questions

[rsdata]

My Kubota is probably 40 years old. I only cut an acre and a half grass on a hill normally for the last 30 years. Runs well until I drained fluid and replaced the hydraulic filter about two months ago. It now appears to act sluggish. I have to push on the forward pedal much harder then I used to to get any speed in mid-range selection. The pedal will not return to center when I release the forward/reverse pedal.

I put this fluid in to replace what was taken out. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Did you pull and clean the hydraulic screen?

That sounds like a problem with the pedal not the hydraulic system. Inspect and lubricate the linkages

Is the oil level correct?

Typically after changing it you have to run the tractor and then top it up again. Check on level ground.
