Will not move --- 2003 Deere 260 series 2

[simple farmer]

My 2003 Deere 260 series 2 will not move.

Starts just fine.
Bucket moves normally.
Parking brake seems to disengage. The light goes off.
Hydraulic fluid is full.

When I try to go forward or in reverse, it seems to want to move, but it is like something is holding it back.

Any help is appreciated.

Not familiar with that machine, but I have seen the same issues on other machines and the problem was that the brake was not releasing even though the solinoid was getting power.

Are you saying the solenoid may need replacing? I have charged the battery, so the voltage is good.

Could be the solenoid or the pin that the solenoid should be pulling is stuck.

You can pull out the solenoid and test it with a screwdriver or a metal rod or bolt. And while it is out see if the brake shaft moves in and out.
