I have an 01 IT14G wheel loader. It has appox 13,000 and change on it. I just bought this machine used. It ran out good in the yard I got it from had power to dig and would spin the tires. I get it home ( wide open space now) and I am not getting the top speeds out of it that I should be. This has that 2 speed hydrostat in it. Low should be about 7 mph and high about 20-22mph
I am getting about 5 mph out of low and 10-11 out of high. When i go up an incline I lose ground speed. I talked to my cat dealer and they said it would be alot of different things but with an engine of those hours it could be a tired engine/lower horsepower output. Is there a way I can turn up engine power to get me through the winter?( Snowremoval season) Something I can do to turn up the hydro system pressure to make it grab to the engine better?
I would love any ideas.
Thanks
Danny
