B2920 slow

[Delphicoder]

I have a new b2920 only about six hours on it. I tend to keep it in medium range. Yesterday I went to go down the driveway for the first time and wow was it slow going up hills.

It seemed to be under a load. I pushed the rpm lever up to the orange mark on the gauge and that helped some at least it did not feel like it was. Otto g down.

Same type of noticeable slowdown in high gear going up inclines. I used to have a bx25 and noticed it had issues going up inclines. However the bx25 did not seem to have problems on the same route that the 2920 was on yesterday.

Seems kinda odd. It made rackety sounds like it was under a big load, I did have the backhoe on, maybe that extra weight gives it grief?

Should be bogging down. iPhone corrected it to what it thought it should be haha

Dont take this the wrong way but I assume you check to see if the brake was on?

I have not had anything like you experianced other than with the brake on.

I am at ~180 hours I have had zero isses although she does make a odd rattling sound when under load (others on the form have also described the same thing).

Ha. Brake was not on.

Make sure the PTO, loader, and three-point levers are all accounted for.

Have the same tractor,,,sounds like the brake is on,,,,,check your Hydraulic fluid level,,almost 100 hrs,,,zero issues that I haven't caused

 

[Delphicoder]

Fluids are full, brake is certainly off, and the levers seem ok. Maybe I just dont have the rpms high enough.

Take the hoe off, or run it in low range. The extra 1000 lbs is making a big difference.

What type of incline are we talking here?

I'm no expert, but I think it's normal. My B3030 is a dog in high range going up any type of big grade. High range, in my opinion, is made for level flat land when not carrying any kind of load.
Hoping for a little snow tonight, hence the pic.
