best lawn tractor hills image

I have a 2008 Sears DYS 4500 Lawn Tractor. It's been running and riding great until this weekend. I know that I'm not suppose to be going up hills, but now it won't go up hills. It's like it doesn't have enough power. I used to be able to go up hills with out any effort and now I can't. The engine sounds good. I haven't gained any weight. I suspect the automatic transmission. Any ideas on what might be wrong.
Answer
change the transmission fluid and the filter.

Are husqvarna lawn tractors good on hilly terrain?

I was thinking of buying one of there lawn tractors but i have kind of hilly terrain. I know some lawn tractors don't do as well on this type of land.

It is going to be less an issue of what brand and more what style of mower is going to work best for you. Steep hills call for a mower with a lower center of gravity and a wider stance. How steep are you talking? Also are you running up and down the hills or across? A floating deck is going to be better then a hanging deck to reduce scalping as you crest the hills. Additionally, the bigger the hills, the higher the risk of rollover, so investing in a mower with a seatbelt and ROPS (roll-over protection system) may be very well worth it.
Finally, you need to look at what type of transmission is on the equipment. A low price mower may be under-built to handle the demands you are putting it under. A commercial grade mower may cost more, but may save you a bundle in repairs and replacement in the future.
