Yes actually, lots.. I would start with a voltmeter and a helper. Start by reading the voltage on the battery terminals. NOT the battery clamp terminals, but the actual battery terminals, while the helper attempts to start the machine. What does it read? . does the L4200 have safety switches? Many Kubota models do. Clutch, PTO, seat? Does the starter solenoid pull in? does the starter spin at all? Attempt to spin? So many questions...
What exactly happens when you attempt to crank the engine? So many posters say "nothing".. That tells us nothing. Be specific and tell us exactly what you see and hear when you turn the key to start. Be Verbose, in other words write a book with your observations, and what you did and what you have tried, what you smell, see, hear and feel. Remember we are hundreds if not thousands of miles away, and all we have to go on to help you repair your tractor is exactly what you tell us and nothing more. I hope this helps.

If you are out of gear, check your PTO lever. Good chance it is engaged.
Hi,
Tractor started fine this morning and did a lot of snow clearing. Battery charger indicates battery healthy (less than a year old). This afternoon turned the ignition key and glow plug light came on ok(plus battery and oil lights) glow plug light went off and I turned the key further and no sound at all. Clutch and pto disengaged. Fuel, oil and coolant all good.

Most likely a safety switch is unhappy. Move pto lever to on the off, if hydro, make sure petal is centered, make sure seat switch is good. You'll find it. Good luck
Do you have another tractor near by with a loader that could get under it enough to turn it back over? Is it just on it's side or all the way upside down?
Like others said, It's likely some safety feature stopping it.
