Engine dies on new tractor

[rtallichet]

Hello: My new Kubota 3901HST engine stalls when I drive forward or reverse. Parking brake is off. Not happening when stationary using implements. PS I am a new user so it could be something I'm not doing correctly?

Thanks Teg:

Right at 200.

Now that you mentioned it I recall the driver who delivered last week pointing that out. Ill give it a try and let you know.

THose seat switches are a PIA,, so to speak

RE Safety switch--tape it? Bypass it! I've done that with both my Kubotas and it makes them much easier to use. Those switches are safety overkill in my opinion. Of course, the safety police will come out in droves, but oh well....

"hey Gringo . . . we don't need no stinking' safety switches" . . .

The HST interlock is one thing that will trip that switch. Another one is the PTO lever. I've had a situation where the PTO interlock switch got a little touchy and wouldn't let me start the tractor unless I jiggled the lever.

Not me... disable my seat switches every time...
