Hello Kubota friends:

Today after a long day on in the field I left the seat without placing the 3901 in park first. The seat kill switch tripped and now the tractor will not start.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Check all PTO levers, and push-pull on the HST pedal.

Like Tom says, I believe the Operators Presence Control only stops the engine if the PTO is engaged (on). Has it been turned off?


Good luck

If it is not the Seat or PTO switches check the HST “Switch, Over Drive”, item 060, PT # T1853-42790. See my previous post, I had the similar issue when dismounting my tractor, using the parking brake never made any difference.

Those seat switches are a nuisance, to say the least. On both BX's I've owned, the first thing I did was to disable them.
