New 2720 TLB either pushing into the pile with the loader or almost anytime I push more deliberately on the fwd pedal in hi. Is that just the way the hst is designed, or am I looking at a problem??
I plan on calling dealer this afternoon, but am looking to see if others have experienced this.

Thanks!!

I don't own a TLB but:

Hi is generally for transport, Mid is for most general work and low is for when working hard. Drop it down and you will be amazed.

You can't use high gear for pushing into a pile

That is how I understood it as well.... FNG @ the dealer said " don't be afraid to throw her into hi to get a good scoop!".
I have used tractors throughout my life for work. Never used hi. First time owning a tractor. I guess I should stick to my guns and not let someone tell me how to use it!
Luckily I only attempted one scoop, didn't like it, went back to Lo. Otherwise, very happy with the new rig!! Thanks for the tips.
