I've got a problem with my A-C D-14. I mounted a 12 foot dozer blade on the 3pt hitch. when I'm pushing snow it sometime boggs down a bit. Is this a little too much work for this tractor?

I have a front loader for my D-14 with a 6 ft snowplow that can be substituted for the trip bucket. The plow stands about 24-30 inches high. Even with loaded tires, tire chains, and wheel weights, a full blade of snow is about all I can handle without digging holes in the driveway or yard. I do not seem to lack for power, as I can easily push it at lower rpm's in 2nd or 3rd gear, high range. I seem to be limited only by the available weight on the rear tires to provide adequate traction, no matter what type of snow we have.

that has to be a sight backing into a snow pile. We used a 8 foot on a D17 and it works great. I think a 7 or maybe 8 ft would be plenty, unless you are pushing powder.

A 12 foot blade sounds a little big for heavy snow. I use a heavy duty 7' rear blade with tire chains on and wheel weights and my D14 does great.

How deep is the snow, and how wet is it? In Mn we wouldn't even think of a 12 foot blade on a tractor that small. Width of the tractor might be all it can handle, and then it depends on how severe the blizzard was. In northern states we get a lot of dry snowstorms- low water content, and we can push a lot, but our March storms are wetter, and it takes power to move that- same thing with snowblowers. I use the snowblower as long as possible- seven foot on 125HP, and for a late spring storm, might use the seven foot bucket up front with a 1500 pound bale on the three-point bale fork for traction- now THAT pushes snow!

well there are a couple things wich could be wrong. first thing that could be wrog it that your tractor might need a chrome stack that could improve your proformance cuz a D-14 should be able to push a larger blade with eas. another problem could be your tires if they have to much traction they could be resisting to much cauzing your motor to die. well good luck i hope i helped u a bit. but it should be able to push it.
