MF 2706e engine dropping rpms when hot
low

2017 MF 2706E Ran the tractor with tiller for 20 minutes and she started to lag. After 30 minutes it got bad enough I had to stop working the small 1/3rd acre area I was trying to till. This field is very well tilled already and I don't have the tiller on the lowest setting. Itsa 6ft tiller and the tractor runs great for first 20 minutes even inrabbit mode and tiller 4-6in into the soil, but after 20 minutes Ihave to raise it up, drop to turtle mode, and then after 30 minutesthe tractor really starts to drop from 2400rpm to <1500. Radiator is clean, Radiator Fan is working Dealer just 'calibrated' the engine and replaced fuel lines Diesel filter only has 64hrs on it New Fluids Infrared after 30min: Engine 168, Radiator 188, Charge air cooler 137, Hydrostatic Cooler 149, Turbo 468 Anyone have an idea? Dealer doesn't have a field for me to till to reproduce the issue for their technician. Really needs to run 20+ minutes at 2400rpm under load with outside air at 85-90 degrees to get this behavior to materialize.
