I'll give it a try as soon as I get to my tractor's den.
It's really a mess out there right now after the several feet of snow we got last Friday.
To make matters worse, it started raining on Monday and started a quick melt.

We are having the same messy weather here. Snow, melt rain, freezing rain, warm, melt, cold, freeze up, repeat! LOL

I had checked when I first had this problem. Will go over everything again. Intermittent problems are such a pita!

A visual check won't help, you have to remove the cables and clean both terminal and post. These tractors hate even a slightly dirty battery connection.

Correct.
He also needs to remove the ground cable were it bolts to the frame and clean the connections.

Just wanted to say that I am not ignoring all your fine advice, I just have not had the chance to do all the suggested checks. Will try this weekend.
While I check the connections, what product (available in Canada) does anyone recomment to use to keep the connections clean and corrosion free?
I keep my Kioti in an unheated covered separate storage area along with all the implements.

Dielectric grease, available in any auto store, or battery terminal spray; spray it on after through cleaning with emery cloth or sandpaper.

Been over 4 months since I followed the advice given and after tightening the ground connection, have never had the problem again. Many thanks to all!
