I worked the machine for about an hour or so - dug out a tree and then started grading a pad for a barn. I headed down the hill to get a load of fill dirt, shifted gear to get there a little faster. Went to dig into the dirt pile and shifted into a lower gear. Suddenly, I had a major power loss. Pedal floored, the engine maxed out at 1650RPM, and dropped quickly to 1600. Any ideas where to start looking for the problem?

I will ask the obvious.... fuel in the tank? If there is a fuel/water separator, is it packed up with dirt? Fuel filter clogged? Hydraulic fluid reservoir tank full?
