bx2360 Quits pushing under a load

[gopherted]

I was plowing snow and when I would get a large amount of snow in front of the bucket it would quit pushing and seam like an axle was striped and when I would let off the tram peddle a little bit it would start going again, as long as there no heavy load in front of the bucket it trams fine,what could be going bad.

pushing down on the hydro pedal on the BX results in essentially a higher gear ratio, but less power, not more... unlike a car gas pedal.
I don't know what's slipping... maybe tires spinning, but with your tractor, when the load gets heavier, you need to back off on the pedal, or increase throttle, to get more power.

Thanks Pete but the problem is that the tires used to spin when under a load and now it stops in it"s tracks and shudders the whole machine.

Mine does that if I accidentally have it in Rabbit instead of Turtle.

Bruce has the right answer - high range is almost useless when it comes to power - low range is slow, but has almost unlimited power, but I have stalled my machine in low range by working it too hard.

If its in high range, pushing heavy snow will stop tractor in its tracks.backing off increases power to wheels.

tires spinning on rims maybe?

 

[skeets]

Maybe check the tire pressure too,, they have been known to loose pressure and the rim slip in the tire,,, yes it do happen!!!

put some rubber glue in a flat seal then add air- they wont spin- also remove any slime/dirt or grease
