Pool noodle. If you forget to take it off, no problem.

I would look for the 3pt feedback rod to see if broken or frozen.

Wife and I caught one by foot early in our learning curve. It healed up fine, but we’re never having that happen again. Our solution is to wait until they are roosting in the coop, close them in, and then move the enclosure. The timing isn’t as convenient but lots less stress.

Rod is easy to replace but adjustment is critical. I suggest you keep looking for other problems, however. When mine broke on my B2650, it had no impact on the 3pt operation. Without the feedback the FEL stopped working because the pump was deadheading when the 3pt was raised. I hope I’m wrong...

And an O-ring brought down the space shuttle. For the most part our Kubotas are bullet proof, but there are chinks in the armor. Glad you found yours. Get it adjusted and get back in the saddle.

I had exactly the same issue last year and through all the step and checks suggested here. Ended up being the HST peddle switch was bad. Afterwards, I was told it’s pretty common as it’s not well protected and get lots of cycles. B2650 allows for starting without being in the seat and the...

I’m a big fan of the Walker’s Razor line. I got my for shooting sports, but they’re great for mowing and tractor time.

On mine the rod was broken. I did the replacement and rough adjustment and had my dealer tweak it when it was in for an unrelated reason. You want to make sure the pump doesn’t dead head at top of travel.

I had a similar issue with my B2650. Turns out my 3pt feedback was out of adjustment. Just throwing that out there, but I have no clue if your rig runs a similar hydro circuit.

Starter turned over when jumped. Turned out to be the treadle switch was bad. Thanks again for the suggestions.

I thank everyone for their insight and suggestions. I won’t be able to do anymore diagnosis until this weekend but I’ll certainly continue to accept any advise and counsel.

Yep. Tried that. Nothing. I really do appreciate the suggestions. I feel bad that my first post was a question and not a solution.

Battery was at 92% but i took it too 100%. No joy. Jumped it anyway. No joy. So frustrating as I’m much better with mechanical rather than electrical issues. Only 245 hours on the tractor.

I should have mentioned I did check the battery cables and contacts. I’ll try jumping it this morning. Thank you.

After several hours of seat time yesterday doing land clearing and multiple times turning the engine on and off with no sign of trouble, I turned off the tractor to reattach a rope to the draw bar after it broke. Tried to start back up and nothing. The key in run position gives me the “click”...
