Kioti CK3510SE won't start

[rademamj1]

As far as I am aware, HST Kioti Factory Cab tractors do not come with seat safety switches, which automatically shut off the engine when you exit the cab. At least my tractor did not come with it. I did deactivate the safety switch on my open station Kubota GR2120, and so i believe it's a switch more commonly found on open station tractors.
Kioti Cab tractors do have the PTO engagement switch, which requires the PTO to not be engaged on startup. That could have been the problem all along.

My ck35se-hc cab model has a seat switch for sure, I have to either be in it or push down the center to start the engine.

It depends on the year. The 2020/2021 models, I'm told, have the seat switch. Dealer specifically pointed this out to me and said it was a new thing.

So its confirmed, and it makes good safety sense, even for a cab tractor. Good to know.

Had a similar problem: no start after using PTO. 2018 CK2610 gear, so no button only a lever for the PTO engagement and switch to indicate PTO lever is engaged. Bad switch; disconnected it, light went off and tractor started.

My Mahindra 1626 has the same yellow pto button. Sometimes mine won't crank. If I cycle the pto switch it cranks

That sounds like a sticky relay.

Seems to be worse in colder temps. Doesn't do it this time of year. Hasn't done it in quite a while.
