Hi all,
New member here. I recently purchased a 2007 850D that needed lots of work to get it up to working condition. Some details to give you the complete picture - the machine wouldn't start unless the block heater was plugged in, plastics were bashed in but the seller had new fenders, machine came with hydraulic 6' plow and full glass cab.
I replaced the fenders and hood, replaced the glow plugs, relay, and 30 amp fuse (which was blown). Now, the motor starts like it should. It started right up at 20 degrees this morning.
We had 6" of snow last night so I thought I'd see how the machine did at plowing snow. Here's my problem. It started right up but the machine moved really slow. By that I mean in H I could easily keep up with it at a brisk walk at full throttle. In L it was even slower. Reverse the same. The machine didn't seem to slow down with a load (by that I mean when pushing snow) it just didn't go more than 5-10 mph.
Any idea what I'm facing here? Drive belt? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
