Hi all.
I'm using my bx2350 to install a sprinkler system. I am using a subsoiler to 'plow' ditches for the pipes. this time of year, the soil is about 2" of dust over very hardpack. In order to plow through without spinning the tires, I am putting the tractor in high range. when I hit a particularly hard spot, the tractor comes to a complete stop, bogging down the engine. I then back up a few feet and take a run at it. usually, one or two hits will break the section loose. this usually happens every 5 or 10 feet. with probably 500' of pipe to lay, I'm worried that this is abusing the tractor.
is this continuous heavy load on the tractor a bad thing? I'm most concerned about either the engine or hydraulics.
thanks in advance,
Barney
