Thinking about disabling the seat switch

If you never need it you will never know the difference.

the safety seat switch is for corporate joes

It's a free country, at least I think it still is. I still have mine connected on my Kubota but not on my Troy Built Riding mower.

I have an override switch for the seat switch when using the PTO and I park the tractor with a security setting so the tractor won't move because there appears to be no operator in the seat. JD4105: Operating PTO Off Tractor Seat - Page 2

I have never owned a tractor of any type that had a seat switch that was not bypassed right after I got it home ....

Day 1 tractor arrived, day 1 1/2 switch removed, day 2 tractor cuts the grass on its own.:laughing:

I removed mine. I got completely sick of the machine shutting off every time I went to enter a pallet or do something precise with the loader and moved around for a clear view.

I'm curious as to how the switch could ever activate if you're in the seat with belt fastened. For me, it would be a non-issue.

The only thing I can think of is that when the seat is bottomed on a bounce and I start to rise with the seat that the suspension sticks a bit before rising as well.

I really don't want to constantly have to repeat myself.

Hey, you didn't have to reply at all.

I disabled my seat switch within 2 weeks of owning the machine.
