When making turns steering seems to catch a bit and then jerks lose. Doesn't do this with the weight off front tires.
GR2110 Steering Problem

How fast are you traveling when this occurs?
These tractors don’t have “power steering” such as you have in your automobile. It is “hydraulic-powered steering”.... a significant difference, in that no “direct” mechanical connection exists. If you are traveling v e r y-s l o w l y .... then your wheels may be experiencing high turning-resistance. And extreme example is when you are not moving at all and may find the steering unresponsive.
The tractor has 400 hrs and this is a new problem. Tractor can be stationary with full weight on front wheels and turns with ease but will catch toward end of cycle like it's hanging up on something and then releasing. No problem jacked up with no weight
tractordata.com says your GR2110 has glide steer. Although this OTT thread I will link you to is a GR2120, it also has glide steer and found broken steering rod holder bracket causing their (post 9 and 10) steering problem. Don't know how close a 2120 is to your 2110 is or if thats your problem but might be worth checking. Link to thread CLICK HERE
cables out of adjustment
cables fraying or broken
cable brackets bent or broken
glide steer clutch(es) worn in transaxle
glide steer mechanism inside transaxle screwed up
I have seen all of the above happen; hence the reason I will never own a GR21XX mower they cut awesome but way too many problems with them and they were never cheap problems
u need to go through the book for your mower, to the "tee". The cable adjustments are CRITICAL if they are off you will eat up the clutches in the transmission and they are no fun (nor cheap) to fix/replace. That transmission is a nightmare if you have to go into it, and there are some tricks that the wsm doesn't tell you about like using a starter rope in the channel before bolting the two halves back together, this keeps the channel clean of any liquid gasket
yeah they are a goofy overcomplicated and overpriced transaxle that is a sore subject with many. I had to buy one for a customer once, at that time it was about $3700 retail. The mower isn't worth that once it's got some hours on it.
