I have a 1215 that I have had 3 years it has 600 hours on it, all fluids have been changed even took it to New Holland Repair shop. The hydrostatic drive would not allow me to drive in High, when it gets hot the transmission just whines. The repair shop could not duplicate the problem so they only charged me $250 for the “work” they did. However, now, even when I first start it up and press the pedal to go forward in High it will not move, the pedal pushes back and the trany whines and screams. If I then put it in Low and try it will not move, just spin the right rear, so I put in 4wd and try and the left rear wheel will drag a few feet before it SNAPS and starts spinning normally. It is like the brake is on that wheel. Even in neutral the tractor is not free-wheeling and is extremely difficult to tow, the repair people avoided the question by saying some tractors are like that. I don’t know if that has any thing to do with hydrostat problem or not but it fits the situation. I desperately need fixing this problem because it is my primary work horse and can’t be with out it too long.
