Hi all.. This is my first post.. Does anyone run an b8200 with loader and backhoe.... How do they find it power wise? Mine really struggles on inclines in second gear.. Is this normal. Cheers dan

Couple of questions....

last time you changed fuel filters?

What RPM you running up this incline?

What degree of hill we going up?

Has this always been this way - or recently just started?

answer these questions and we'll see if we can narrow down a potential problem if there is one.

15-20 is pretty steep.

at 20 degrees, on my L2501 with L,M,H, I'd want to be in low gear

I have a similar problem with my BX25D .... I have a good hill that I have to come up from the bottom of my property - probably in the 20 degree range ..... I cannot make it High range - get about half way up and it will simply bog down. Low range it will climb a mountain side.

My conclusion with my machine is - nothing is wrong with it!!! It has two ranges for reason, and many say well just back off the HST pedal and it will do it, nope it will not!!!

The tractor is carrying a FEL up front, and a heavy hoe on the rear - and all other things too - including my heavy butt!!!

The weight on the rear is fantastic when it comes to grip on the ground - but is hard to pull up a hill!

Your machine and mine are about the same in weight when you add up all the implements. And both have the same size engine.

I take it - 1st gear pulls it fine?

Ah yes.. The b8200 has three ranges on the hst and low range is good but so slow.. I like the little machine but considering trading for a more powerful machine.. Other option could be to re power to a bigger engine but I don't know how feasible this is..
