My 53 50 has excellent power running mowers or on the baler but when I am pulling a load up any hill it will die and I have to shift it down. The last time I did this I was pulling a hay rack with 100 bales on it. Is there something wrong or am I overdoing it?

Checkl your float level it sounds like it may be low and your running out of fuel.

Brian, If it is steep or a long hill it could be normal. They don't pull a lot in 6th gear. Do you have trouble starting from a dead stop with the same load?

This may be normal as I had a JD 50 that made 31 horsepower on the dyno but just didn't seem to hang in there like my model B's

Check your distributor. I had the same problem on my 50 until I checked the distributor
