I have had my new MX5400 for about two weeks now and I am loving every minute of it. I have found however that it is harder to see my SSQA then it was on my L2501. I was hoping someone new how to "trick" my seat safety switch so I could stand up when I am hooking up implements for my FEL?

I really only see 2 choices.
Put a brick on the seat, or bypass the seat safety switch.

Disclaimer: If you fall off the tractor after you bypass the seat safety switch and it runs you over and does you in, I warned you!

How do you bypass it? On the L2501 it was a simple lever that you could zip tie down. I don't see anything like that on the MX?

The only way to do this is what Wolfman says. I put the parking brake on and stand up to get see where I’m at, but of course, you can’t move when doing that.

There is a pair of wires that goes into the bottom of the seat.
