Back story on tractor is I did a rebuild on it new pistons, rings, rod bearings and head gasket. Flushed radiator new thermostat adjusted valves. I got it back together and it will start but it just seems like it has no power and I’m pretty sure it’s getting to hot also it won’t idle has to be at least at half throttle to stay running. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions I’m at my end with this thing a lot of time any money in it?

Head problem is my guess. Hook the compression tester backup and check it. New Rings & pistons should be excellent!! Leave the compression tester hooked up and watch for the Compression to drop. It drops real quick= Big leak

Another thought is the injector pump installed correctly? Any idea on how good your injectors are? I agree on compression test being the first thing to do.
