BX2360 Dies when engaging PTO or go pedal

[AFChief]

Uhg! Halfway through the lawn and my BX2360 just dies. The engine is running fine when not under a load. Anytime I engage the PTO (mid, running the MMM) or try to move via the pedal, the engine bogs out. I checked the trans fluid and it's good. Moving the three point up and down doesn't effect the engine, just PTO or Hydrostatic. I can shut it off for a few minutes and start it up and it will be normal for a minute, then dies. Any ideas?

sounds like what my BX24 would do if my butt wasn't on the seat.
have you checked the seat switches, and wiring ?

My bx25 does that when I am sitting on top of my hill using the backhoe and then try to move the tractor. I got put it in high range and drive a few feet then I can use low range again.

You guys called it. I refueled before starting and had flipped the seat up to clean up some spill. Crushed the harness in two places when I locked it back down. Wire was shorting to the frame causing erratic release of the switch, hence the reaction to PTO and Hydrostatic.:ashamed:
