2010 LTX 1040:

First mowing this season today, i noticed whenever i turn right or left, the mower slowly slows down. The engine doesn't and the blades spin at normal speed, but the movement of the mower slows down to almost a stop, Then i straighten the wheels out and start heading straight and it goes fairly slow, never gets back up to regular speed. So i have let off the pedal and then push it down again and that gets it going normal.:confused2:
Keep in mind the ENGINE is not slowing down. New drive belt Feb 2017
:confused2:
Oh, on another note, that got me thinking about transmission. As far as i know the fluid has never been changed. I looked in the manual but it shows nothing about changing the trans fluid.:wink:

Possibly the brakes are dragging ??
 
You have a CVT trans. Did you change 2 belts and check to see if the pullies are moving like they should?
 
It only has 1 drive belt. And when i changed the belt last year everything seemed to be in working order.
