i have an l2900dt gst seems to drive good cold but after 1/2 hour run time when you shift direction or gears it just gets stuck in neutral let it sit a couple hours and it goes ok other than its a little lagy when you let the clutch outlooking for ideas on where to start?
thank you

Sadly it sounds like you could be having an issue with the seals in the hydraulic clutch.

But there is also the chance that your having mechanical clutch issues.
Does this happen with a PTO powered Implement on and if it does does the PTO still spin with force when the tractor won't move

There is a series of hydraulic pressure tests to help determine if it's the hydraulic clutch or something else.

Do you have the WSM (aka Service manual)?

Check envelope top right. ;)

What does the PTO do?
That's super important in the diagnosis of your issue.

With a load on it? Or with nothing attached to it?

I think it best to have a rotary cutter on to check PTO if that is possible
