Hi Everyone, quick question. I have a 2011 John Deere 244J compact wheel loader, top end on flat ground 20 mph +/-, when I start to go up an incline or hill, it slows down. Should I be "playing" with the gas pedal or just keep the pedal to the metal so to speak?

The machine is hydro driven. Keep the rpms up and just let the pump and 2 spd drive motor do the work. JJ.
