Kioti RX7320
I am not requesting help, just adding some information that might answer a future google search. I bet this is in the book somewhere, but I didn't find it the first time I looked.

I let my son sit in the seat of the new RX7320 and it stalled out after moving into gear. Not a surprise because my son was/is not heavy enough to trip the seat presence sensor, so the engine cuts out when the tractor is put into gear with 'nobody' in the driver's seat. Sensible when we're dealing with almost 5 tons of iron, to be sure, and not unexpected. The throttle 'dying' on restart (reboot?) was a surprise, though - the throttle pedal and hand control then became unresponsive on restart. The tractor would not advance beyond idle using either control.

Solution: The throttle control is easily reset when you drop the hand throttle control all the way to the bottom and then lift it again, while the engine is running. That appears to be a reset action for the computer. "Problem" solved.

Silver lining is the kid won't be able to steal my ride for a few years, unless he hotwires the seat (which he did on the lawn tractor).

...

Oh, and just in case Karen finds this thread: we were in an open field on the lowest gear when I let the 9-year-old sit in the seat, and I was next to him in the cab. I survived far more dangerous unsupervised activities in the city at that age than my kid attempted in an open field with his dad. My adult self wants to kick my younger self's butt for what I used to pull off... :)

On the KIOTI Turbo Charged engines, you must start the tractor with the hand and foot throttle at IDLE. This is a feature that was added recently to protect the Turbo-Charger. The throttle control will not allow you to start the tractor above idle, and will dis-able the throttle controls until they are reset by starting the tractor with all controls in the idle position. This is just a way to make sure you bring the tractor back to idle at shutdown, and always start the tractor at idle to assure there is sufficient oil flow for the turbo.

Hope this helps...

Yeah, I just figured that out yesterday. Makes sense.

I'd update my post but cannot edit that far back. Thanks for the explanation.
