front axle engage

[barry]

Hi Zetor Owners
The front axle engage hydaulic clutch/saftey clutch on my 14145 slips sooner than I would like. Is there any way of increasing the power it will transmit?
Would the front axle brake if all the power went through it? For example backing out of a dam with a front end loader bucket full of mud puts most of the weight on the front axle and thus the torque.

How is your hydraulic power of the control circuit for 4wd, diff lock and torque amplifier ?

Hi Renze
The 2 speed and pto and 4wd engage work well I assume the circuit is in order. When pulling a plow the front wheel drive is ok but with a heavy fyont end loader more power through the front wheels would be good - especially when backing up a slope.

I think it's time for some rear ballast... as a rule of thumb, 2 ton at the back takes 1 ton off your front axle...

I use a 1 cubic meter 3pt hitch bucket as ballast. taking about 1000 to 1500 kg of dirt.
