engine skipping

[yankeepac]

Have been hearing an occasional "skip" or pause in power when using my L3200 hst. I only have 23 hours on the tractor. This seem to occur only when using the front loader, and only when under strain, ie lifting loads. It also doesn't occur all the time. Is this a normal issue with Diesel engines? I have never used one before till now. The skip is short, just long enough to get my attention, but never interferes with my tasks. Is there something I should be checking/ adjusting? Anything to worry about?

Still a newbie here, Thanks for your continued great advise.

Possibly you are momentarily lifting yourself off the seat?

I was going to ask the same thing...

I guess it is possible, but don't really think so. It's hard for me to stand up and pull the joystick up, and drive etc at same time. plus I believe I have always been wearing the seat belt.
