Loosing power

[kcs 61]

I have a B2650. It seems not to have the power when I go into a pile of dirty or digging with the BH. Small bites it seems ok. All fluids are full. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

What’s your RPM’s? Do the RPM’s decrease when digging like it’s struggling? Is this a new issue? Are you in low range pushing into a pile?

 

[kcs 61]

My RPMs are between 2200-2500. No they don’t decrease. They stay the same. It doesn’t seem to struggle. Just stops moving. Yes I’m
In low range when I go in to a pile Yes this is a new issue

If the RPM’s are decreasing I would say it’s a fuel issue.
How many hours on the machine? Up to date on service? Hydraulic fluid level correct?

 

[kcs 61]

300 hrs on the machine. The maintenance is up to date. The machine does not decrease RPMs if I’m using the BH it just stops working until I reposition the bucket. If I’m using the loader the same happens

Fluid level? Might have a faulty relief valve. I’ll let some others chime in on the hydraulic side of it.

Check the position of the three point lever.
If it is in the upper most position try moving it to center and see what happens.

Fluid levels are fine. The 3point level is in the down position. I’ll try moving the 3 point level. Thanks for the adv

While you are checking levers, make sure that all hydraulic levers (FEL, rear remotes, backhoe,…) are in their neutral position (not trying to move a cylinder). They could be locked in an operating position and needing flow that is robbing power from the transmission.
