I'm trying to find out why I can't get off the tractor seat without the engine cutting out from the seat presence control shutting it down. This didn't happen last year when using my WC68 chipper.
Yes - tranny in N (not required but best)
Yes - Parking brake firmly engaged with both pedals locked together
Yes - I'm seated while engaging the rear-only PTO, and the chipper starts spinning at strong idle
Then I get up and it shuts down.
So the seat switch is working. May be the brake switch isn't registering that the hand brake is engaged?
Or the PTO select isn't registering that it's in Rear-PTO-Only mode?
I can sit a firewood piece on the seat and bypass the system but this should be an easy repair.
I'm going out to remove the instrument cowling now to get a look at the hand brake lever's connections and action. The only change from last fall is I did a maintenance on the brake adjustments R & L to get the pedal free play to just over the minimum. Maybe the park brake switch isn't engaging now?
Curious if anyone else has run into this. I'll be monitoring this thread as I investigate.
TIA!!!!
