I may be, how steep a hill should I be able to climb in mid range with the loader and scraper attached? The thing that bugs me is that if I stop(or come to a stop is more like it) on a hill in mid range, I can apply light pedal pressure and keep the RPM's up but I cannot get the tractor to move. I can push down on the hydro pedal and start to stall it, by feathering I can get down on the pedal pretty good and keep my RPM's up to but I cannot get moving. Likewise, on solid grass covered ground in low range, 3000 rpm, barely pushing the pedal with the loader into a pile, I cannot break the tires loose. I can push the pedal on down and stall it but I cannot get my engine power to the tires. My Kioti will dig to the axles at a lot lower rpm.
