Dirt Moving help- tractor stalling in reverse

[scootr2d]

I started moving some dirt today ..I am scraping about 2-3 inches of topsoil of the top by the barn to level it out . Moving forward everything is fine . reach the end of my run , I dump my bucket , then come down just behind it with FEL 2 inches off the ground. While backdragging the pile in reverse if I am on any kind of uneven terrain BX25 starts stalling out. (it died once, and I had to restart).
I have enough fuel and As I said moving forward scraping topsoil off no problem ..moving backwards on uneven soil while back dragging across my previous run BX25 starts stalling. (actually quit once)

Any ideas whats going on?

Seat switch maybe? Nothing else makes sense to me.

I will try and eliminate FEL . I will back up in uneven terrain without back dragging and putting a load on the FEL and tractor in reverse. I am clueless at this point as to what the culprit may be . when running in reverse I am in 4wd , and Rabbit , and throttle is wide open.

hmm doesnt make sense. Perhaps when going in reverse you are letting up the seat a little the seat swithces could kick in then.

This is what I would do, too...try all the variables to eliminate and narrow down. Does the problem occur in 2WD, at half-throttle, when cold, after running hard for a while, only on Thursdays? I guess you've checked the obvious, like are the air and fuel filters clean? You can't have too many hours on that machine...were you doing anything different than usual just before the problem started? By any chance, did you get some fuel recently from a different place than your usual?

Hopefully somebody here a lot smarter and more experienced than me will have some ideas.

I would check the pedal safety switch.

My old BX2350 had the super sensitive seat safety switch, hated it. The replacement BX2660 is great, never a problem. My new BX25 isn't as bad as the BX2350 but it is to sensative and when backing up I seem to be moving my body different than when facing forward and it want's to cut off, I just have to push myself back into the seat. The work I have been doing with it for the past few days has been on steep slopes so when backing uphill the tendacy is to lean forward. I suggest you try backing downhill and see if it does it or intentionally push yourself back into the seat to make sure your not moving in the seat. Someone had posted a correction for the BX2350 of some type shims, please post again.

Sounds like the same problem my wife has on L2800HST..she slids forward just enough and seat saftey seat trips.

Same thing happens when my wife is on my BX24. She's so short and light, once the tractor goes in reverse, it's just enough to cut it out.

1) parking brake is on or partially on.
2) running at to low an rpm.
3) seat switch loose/misadjusted

Very unusual problem, all good recommendations thus far.
Good luck
