To Ralph,
Check the disconnect switch for excessive voltage drop.
Ditto on the forward and reverse contactors.
Anything more than 2 volts is too much, should be less than 1/2 volt.

I was wondering if anyone in the group has had
this problem. I installed the AllTrex controller and it seems ot be
working good. I have cut the grass 3 time now and several times durring
each cutting the volt meter will drop into the middle of the red and everthing
slowes down. The current meter drops a little too so I don't think its a
short. It acts like I am suddenly running on only 4 or 5 batteries
instead of 6. After 10 to 30 seconds it returns to normal.
Sometimes it happens when I go from forward to reverse or back to forward
again. It allways happens when I first start the tractor, mower running
or not. If I just run the mower with the AllTrex off it will still read
in the red. All battery cables and connectors are new. Batteries
are 2 years old, and nothing is hot when I finnish cutting the grass.
The drive motor is hot to touch but you can leave your hand on it for about 10
seconds.
