bicky, this topic should be in ‘pedestrian operated machines’ section where members are more likely to pick it up. Sounds like either you are trying to work too deep, a light machine will not work at full depth on first pass in fresh ground; or the engine may need a de-coke and valves grinding in. I had a Land Rover that struggled up hills, a de-coke and everything was back to how it should be.
