I have a Cat 308C CR that will drive around all day just fine. Use of the blade is fine too. However, when I'm using the bucket, I'll suddenly hear the idle control throttle the engine all the way down and the low idle indicator comes on. It doesn't matter where I have the idle control set, after that, it's just stuck at low idle. I turn the engine off, and do something else for a while, then I can come back and get some use out of it before it happens again.
What would cause this? How are these features supposed to behave? I often like to work with the door open. Should that matter?
