Just wondering if somebody has a reasonable explanation of why lugging a diesel is so bad. The manual says not to "lug" the engine and produce black smoke. I've been running around in a certain gear and hit a pile of compressed topsoil/clay and lugged the machine once in a while. I can't pick the perfect gear every time I'm doing something...maybe it's a bit high once in a while. It's a tractor and it's going to get used. I hope a bit of black smoke from working the machine isn't going to damage the engine /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Any thoughts on where the problem arises for the diesel and what the long terms effects may be.
