When you don't tilt the seat forward, does the PTO not even engage? Or does it run for awhile (sometimes 45 minutes) before stopping? And does not tilting the seat cause the engine to quit, or just prevent the PTO from engaging?

I haven't had to press anything, just move the PTO lever to the operating position while standing outside the cab. Since it runs for awhile, it doesn't seem to need any weight on the seat.

On my L4630 GST, I have been using a friend's chipper/shredder on the PTO, and it works fine for about a half hour, then the tractor shuts off with no indications it's about to quit--no bogging down, no shuddering, it just stops. I can restart it immediately but it shuts down quicker after that...
