It does sound like a safety switch issues, but seems strange to me. The most likely cause of the engine quitting when engaging the pto clutch would be the seat safety switch. Assuming you are sitting on the tractor when you engage the clutch. But if i was the seat switch the tractor would also...

It's amazing, half a country apart and they have the same employees as this place in NY https://www.capitaltractorinc.com/

The heat pump is off the ground on a standard stand. The issue was not the snow drifting under or around. The main issue was snow blowing directly onto the back of the pump, pump defrosting cycle could not keep up with it and I ended up with and inch of ice on the coils. I need to find some way...

Last winter was absolutely brutal in my location. Multiple days of winds gusting 30 to 60 MPH, snow drifts out the wazoo. It was one of the worst winters as far as wind and drifts are concerned around here that I can remember. At one point I had to hire a guy with a bulldozer and loader to come...

I have a steering ram lock that I put on my tractor when there will be no one around. Nothing is a guarantee, but you either need to lift the front wheels off the ground or cut the steering ram to bypass the lock. Also, they are not cheap and must be shipped in from the UK...

The reason I asked about warming up is that I've seen bubbles in my glass in the past, but only when it very cold and it goes away when the hydro warms up. My limited understanding is that cooling fluid can absorb air and heating the fluid releases the trapped air causing the bubbles.

How long, if at all, did you allow the tractor to warm up before you started mowing?

Yep, that looks just like mine did last week. This spring in CNY has been wonderful, still don't have my garden in because of the constant rain and 90% of the fields around here are still not planted. Hoping to be able to mow soon without needing to take the deck off every time I do to clean it out.

In addition to this, dandelions attract native bees, especially bumble bees. that are good for my garden. I actually avoid mowing when my lawn is full of yellow flowers. I have bumblebee nests scattered about my property hoping that they will move in. I also mow as tall as possible so the I...

Yep, until you see it happen, or I should say, until you have to go looking for a guide wheel, you'll swear that those clips can't be yanked out. I was surprised the first time it happened to me. Honestly, if it wouldn't make it take 4x the amount of time to adjust the wheel height I'd switch to...

Finally got my garden tilled, first time, this year. This is the latest I've ever waited. Nothing but rain this spring. Letting it dry out a bit now before doing it a second time. It still was really a bit damp, but it didn't clump up, so that's good. As a side note I have to say that I hate...

Mowing along the edge of my property or close to areas where there is a lot of brush and shrubs. If the clips are installed on the outside of the deck a stick or anything stiff can easily snag the clip and pull it off. I mow extremely close to brush and shrubs to keep them from spreading and in...

yeah, those pins should be inserted the other way with the clips on the inside. Seems like all the dealers put them in backwards or something. They are more of a PITA to insert with the clips inside. I did something similar, but I did not mow it. I have not had any issues since I started putting...

Well, it definitely looks like you hit something hard...
