I had the same problem with my yard man machine. It just started slipping one day going down hill and had been doing it ever since.
What I tried - Checked/ replaced drive belts using OEM replacements (there are 2), no joy.
Checked all Pulleys including variator, All good
Opened rear end, all gears good
Finally I adjusted the linkage from peddle to variator to tighten the front drive belt.
That changed things slippage went away and the machine pulls like new.
But had to adjust it all the way out to handle the slippage.
I am planning to buy a belt from Tractor Supply by length and get it about an inch shorter to regain my adjustments.
I believe the Front OEM belts are a bit too long for the mower as such the belt on the mower works great till it gets stretched and the machine begins to slip and continues after belt replacement. Hope this helps
physics involved,to keep it simple roters. 65;
we could go about 35mph when not going downhill you can go 28mph
No the can go faster downhill or uphill
Your brake might grab when going downhill because the pads are wearing out. The lines may also need bled properly.
definitely. they are built with jib rocker so they are awesome on the park and a great downhill ski too, although your turns are going to be pretty wide. i have the press also and they are great.

yes

Yes
It depends... the object could be falling, going straight, going uphill or going downhill.
most likely your transmission is slipping and usually is the onset of your transmission going
Not enough transmission oil, too much transmission oil, bad transmission oil, a clogged breather... all are possibilities.
