It depends what gear. At 12000# including the 2000 90% fill liquid in the tires I can run out of power using the hydraulics pushing and lifting in second gear. The added downforce traction and hydraulic HP will bog the engine. In 1st there is always power to spare if Im above 1500rpm. Your tractor should be a little heavier, but is geared lower due the tire dia. Im surprised you would ever run out of power ina low gear unless youre on pavement or maybe hardpack.

I run out of power while disking, usually up hill with the soil in just the right conditions when that occurs. First gear low range there is always power, but that is not a working gear for disking. I have only been stuck 2 times, both times because of the shorter R4 tires and getting hung up on the draw bar undercarriage.
