Oh what a learning experience this is turning out to be. Splitter: (Content Page) is 3-point hitch splitter running of tractor hydraulics. Have used it with the same tractor for 7 years with no problems. When hydraulics are connected to the front-end loader it all works fine so I've ruled out...

I was mowing a field and making a turn and the whole thing just shut down. I now turn the key and I hear a click under the hood but nothing else. The way it died reminds me of raising off the seat and the kill switch activating. Any ideas how to test the switch? John Deere 990
