I Machine runs great, digs and pushes but lacks power when pushing snow distance or when driving up hills or slopes. It will simply lag under this conditions? Checked all fuel lines, filters and potential siphon blockages. Like is said she runs great just not under a load?

    Does it start out fine then slow/crawl down? Or just doesn't ever have the umph to get going under heavy wheel load? Do the hydraulics work under full load at RPM? What gear are you in when trying to do this?

    Correct, it’s starts out fine then just goes to a crawl. Hydraulic’s work fine. Just looses power/umph under load or driving up hills.

    That sounds alot like my 3CX when there was water in the fuel and it was 15-20f outside. The ice in the lines would starve fuel. Are you in 1st or 2nd gear?

    Has nothing to do with water in fuel. Made sure of that. 1st is fine, 2nd, 2rd and 4th it’s will slug out
