New Holland Bogging Down

[wolfinv]

I have a TC29D with a bucket and when I try to lift a load or pull anything heavy it "boggs Down" and the motor cuts out. What should I check first?

Fuel filters and then air cleaner. Sounds as if it might not be getting enough fuel. Or maybe not enough air.
Just the first things I would check.

I'd check the dealer first......BobG in VA

Welcome to TBN. You don't list your tractor experience in your profile, so I will start with the basics in operations rather than mechanical problems. Please don't be insulted if you are already aware of these things:

For maximum FEL and 3 point hitch lifting capacity, the tractors engine needs to run at ~2600 RPM to generate the hydraulic flow/pressure to do the job.

If you are not experienced with Hydrostatic Transmissions, I suspect you are are running at too low RPMs and are using the HST pedal like an accelerator. It is really an infinitely adjustable torque adjuster. It you want maximimum torque at the wheels, you must be in the lowest gear range, RPM at ~2600, and the slightest pressure on the pedal - you will move slowly, but you'll be amazed at how much torque you can get.

It is not good for diesel engines to be bogged down so much that they "cut out."

Let us know how it works with these adjustments.

First thing to check is that your rear is firmly planted in the seat. On NH if you get a little too light on the seat for 2 seconds, the engine will cutoff.
