Had a little issue with the mx6000 cut the tractor off and got off of it to spray it off got back on and it wouldn’t turn over all the lights came on but a safety switch or something had it shut off…, after about 7-8 key turns it finally turned over ….. pulled up on the trailer today and got up off the seat to see how much weight I had on my truck, and tractor just shutdown and I immediately sit back down to try get it to crank and after about 10 key turns it cranks…, my ? Is do any of you think it’s my pto switch going bad or the seat weight switch… I didn’t get the buzzer before it shut off either… I’m prolly going to bypass the seat switch in the morning

After reading this forum on safety switches I’m leaning towards my hst pedal not centered

The HST safety was my issue. It was fairly easy to fix once I found it. It did require a piece removed to get to it.

Here's my thread which includes a link to my particular model shop manual. You should be able to find your relevant manual. I included the steps I followed to get mine working.


No issues since with mine.

What does the dash read ? If it is a safety switch it should read "return xxx to neutral" The seat switch will not stop it from starting. Could be a bad key switch, or connection, if no warning is showing on the dash.
