They should make the hour meters live, only while the engine is running.
I only recently purchased a new Cub Cadet Z Force SX54.
I was cutting grass, and came to an obstacle laying on ground, so tried to reach over, and throw it out if the way.
Leaning off the seat, shut the engine off, so I figured I might as well walk the rest of the area, and look for other tree branches.
Cleaned the area for a couple hours, and came vack to continue cutting, realizing key had been left on for the entire time.
Lesson learned I guess.
I think my father done this too, with his mower. And left the key on for a week or so.
It shouldn't be hard to tie them in to the ignition system, so they only track engine run time.
My easy fix was to disable the safety switch on the seat, at least I know when I get off, the engine is still running, and I won't walk away too far counting down hours.
