John Deere 6430 Standard Cab Tractor just shuts down while driving.

[kfoster62]

I have a John Deere 6430 Standard Cab tractor ...It just started losing power and shuts its self down while Im driving it. Recently shut itself down while driving down the road. Have already checked to make sure it's getting fuel (it is). The alarm buzzer came on just before it shut down, then once it shut down it wouldn't start again. It is def. not fuel related...I'm thinking possible electrical. Anyone have any suggestions?

Check battery ground cable connection at tractor.

Does it show any error codes?

I appreciate the suggestions but I have now found out what the problem is unfortunately I wish it would have been something simple like the battery ground connection. It is the computer which is rather costly approx. $2500 + labor. I have always had JD tractors but this particular model has given me trouble since I bought it new. Anyone else have any major issues with the JD 6430 Standard cab tractor? Major break downs during hay season is never a good thing!

Sorry to hear that. I wish tractors did not have the expensive electronics. Great when they work right, but a pain when they fail. Common guy can not fix.
