5300 losing power/stalling.

"High gear is more of a load for a longer duration and the fuel required would outrun the fuel that is able to flow through a restricted fuel filter. So with low RPMs it may run fine and when you put it under a heavier load requiring more fuel it starts starving for fuel. Deisel engines require compression, fuel, and air. I would also check the air filter for good measure. If it is starving for air it puts out more black smoke(unburned fuel) as well as not as much power.

I completely agree..same thing has happened to me..my tractor was fine bushogging all day and then on a 5 mile trip on the highway it started bogging down...I replaced the fuel filter and bled the lines and problem was solved.

I cant give much history on the machine. Bought it used. W/ about 1200hrs on her. Now she has 1640. Shes a 97 bought and put to service on a cattle farm. Since I've had her shes been babied. Her duties is to bushhog the pastures and keep 'em up, move hay around, spread fertlizer, pullup stumps, or whatever might happen to get in the way. She sleeps out side w/ the cattle. It seems she likes the company. Thats about all I can tell. Since I've had her Her oils been changed 2ce, fuel and air filter 1se.

I forgot to mention that before I started this thread, I did a search and read the thread of the stuck brakes. I thought his symptoms where different than mine. In that his tractor was still moving just less power. Mine stalls. It will die. None the less I will check into it. It'll be a couple days. I have a long honey do list. Biggest task is laying hardwood in the office. I have about a 3rd layed so maybe wed. I'm going to go goggle a diagram on the brake system.
