It has seemed like the issue may be in some way related to battery voltage, since it seemed like the issue was more likely to happen if I turned the mower blades on first (and the high current draw caused the pack voltage to drop) and then moved the speed selector forward. If I moved the speed selector forward first without having the blades on, it seemed more likely to go to higher speeds without an issue. <br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>Last weekend while mowing, it eventually got to the point that it wouldn't move out of the first speed no matter what. <br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>The observation that it seemed dependent on the pack voltage made me wonder if there is some kind of "limp mode" operation, such that a minimum pack voltage is needed to get the tractor to move past first speed. But, this weekend it seemed like it wasn't moving out of first speed no matter what. <br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>Any thoughts?<br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>Thanks,<br> </p> <p>Mike<br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p><br> </p> <div id="Signature"> <div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:; margin:0"> <div> <hr> </div> <div>Michael S.
