2007 John Deere CT332 Dies under load

[brm_myers]

I have a 2007 Deere CT332 it dies when loaded and has poor performance. It has had a cylinder leak down test and passed, new service, new oil, filter, fuel filter, and the air cleaner was dirty and we are changing tomorrow. Any other suggestions? Drives and functions well, have to rev up to move but weighs 10,825! So I thought OK, but not performing well under load in the field. Please let me know, thanks!

The main things that will pull an engine down under load is air and fuel, if there isn't enough air gettin gin due to a plugged filter you generally get lots of black smoke. If the fuel filter is plugged, or there is a restriction in the line somewhere limiting the fuel flow, it will run well without a load, but when working hard, there isn't enough fuel and it will bog down or die.

You may wish to change the hydraulic filter too.
