Thank you, that saved me a call to the local engineers. It was the HST pedal switch on ours. I love that they put it just where all the mud flings up from the back wheel.

My PTO safety switch has also slipped backwards over time, and I fixed it after watching your great video. You saved me an expensive call-out. Many thanks for taking the time to make such a helpful video!

hey mr colt...thanks so much for your time.i was in a bad spot ,the neautral forward reverse safety switch was my problem,but you got me going.we have gone safety and emision crazy,so many devices to make our equipment stop. we need one master switch to bypass every thing and get us out of bad spots.regards TW canada,s west coast

Wanted to thank you for posting and leaving this video up. I have been struggling with a BX2200 not starting for several days and from your video I was able to figure out the PTO safety switch was just barley engaged. I lubed the PTO shaft and I noticed the safety plunger wasn't moving when it came in contact the metal tab on the shaft. I lubricated the plunder and worked the PTO shaft back and forth several times and I noticed the plunger was sitting up higher than before. I tried to start the tractor and it started right up so thank you very much! You saved me several hundred dollars the Kubota dealer would have charged. Thanks again Ron

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. This is a good and worthwhile video if you’re having crazy intermittent starting issues that are related to switches not functioning. I have a Kubota GR2110 and the thing has been driving me crazy. I can tell it’s in the safety switches somewhere because when everything is satisfied it starts right up and stays running. Now I know where to start poking around. Thanks again!!

Well Mr Kubota Fixit you put me bang on the right track so i went back found all the plunger switches & one was sticky, gave it a rub and tug PRESTO gosh never thought i was so happy to hear the clattery diesel crank-up. I was so close to trying to put it on a trailer and off to the $120 hr Kubota repairer. Don't know where you live but would buy you a beer or any day of the week. Cheers from Nanda Farm South Australia

YES! Thank you! It was the safety switch on the seat...I needed to stuff a little shim in there to get it to start. Great video.

You saved me hours .... thank you for your generosity of time to put this together!

I knew I was in the right place when a correction was made via “as you were.”

Thanks for pointing all this out. I just started to have a starting issue with a new BX-25 that I bought back in 2008. These switches are for the lawyers and birds!

Hi Colt, thanks for this video, you saved me heaps of hours tracing the problem with my Tractor. The switch associated with the PTO was not engaged with the leaver. THANKS again

Perfect, thanks so much! Mine was the PTO switch. It helps so much actually showing where they are and how to get to them.

Thankyou i am having the same problem, thanks for the help i am in Australia so its a global problem, Cheers

Thank You for such a greatly informative video and hopefully saving me alot of time with my little bx24,headed back out to try and get her back running. Have a good one!

I would just like to send a big thank you from Australia for posting this, was very helpful and saved my butt on the day. I had missed the one under the hydrostatic pedal, on the off chance I tried Great God Google and there it was...thanks again.

Thank you for saving me 6 hours! I checked the contacts under the seat and and then the PTO behind the rear wheel, and it was exactly as you described. 5 minutes and a PHILLIPS screwdriver and I was off and running! Great video and thanks again for saving me time and money!

Thank you !!!! You just fixed my tractor. AWESOME!!!!

You saved the best for last in my search for answers. I changed my battery and "zzztt" wrench made contact between + and - . The fuse you mentioned at the end is it. Thanks!

Great video Colt, Thank you for sharing everything you learned!

that is some great info. thank you so much for sharing. Can really help someone like me if this happens.

hey thanks for taking the time to share what you learned!

Thx buddy, I have a BX25D basically has similar sensors and I used your video to locate and test each switch. Thx for the heads up on the throttle inhibitor switch as this is the one that needed adjustment. All fixed 👍🏻

I watched your video and mine wouldn't crank and your correct the blade engagement switch wasn't making contact THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!🙏

you went to a lot of work to help some one thank you.

Thank you it was driving me nuts ,15 minutes and your video ,, thanks again,👍👍👍👍

Watched this.. walked out and got my bx25lb going in 30seconds. Thanks!

Thank you My tractor BX2370 wouldn't start. After watching your video, I was able to adjust the PTO and it started.

Thank you for this! Solved my issue, it was the blade engagement switch.

Thanks for your video! I am going to make these checks first thing in the morning.

Thanks for the video. Wife had tried to move our BX25 and accidentally moved the PTO lever causing the safety switch to cut out.

That switch at the front of the seat that you said you didn't know why it was there is for the rear PTO. You start the tractor then flip the seat up and you can use the rear PTO for like a chipper or what ever you are running.

Lifesaver! You saved my Sunday!

My pto switch was just barely making contact. Thank you!!!

Thanks! I had a small stick under the PTO lever that just slightly kept the switch from making full contact.

It took me 4 hours, multiple videos, trouble shooting one thing at a time. This was my problem. PTO switch was out of alignment and not being activated. Once it was lined up the engine started. 👍🏽

Yeah, those things are a pain in the ass. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for video. Getting ready to look for intermittent start problem. Pretty sure it's one of those switches not bypassed. Also will look for glow plug issue. Need to jiggle switch wires to get them to work.

Thank you! This saved us hours!!

I have an L3710 that's been driving me nuts with intermittent starting. I'm almost certain the issue is a switch adjustment as suggested by your video. The trick is locating and getting access to those switches. Thanks for posting!

A most excellent video, thank you for the help! By the way: that's a cute little airplane, for your child. 8^)

Thank you that helped me fix my problem.

Great video, solved my problem. Thanks

Mine did the same, I just shoved the lever harder and it worked.

Thanks for the video dude it was helpful

I checked all the things you mentioned and it started. Now I just don't know which sensor or wire it was lol. This is the 3rd time it has done this recently.

Thank you. You solved my problem

Thanks for the video brother!

GOOD stuff thank you.

Thanks for safety switch locations! Mine won’t start without jumping starter. Got a love all the sorry plastic body that cracks and falls off. My dad bought this one new. I had bought a b7100 new before that but it is steel body parts. They really shot themselves in the head with the plastic. Very disappointing!

I think I’m going to start removing most of these switches. There too problematic. Thanks amazing info.

thank you. and thank you for sharing

I have had a problem with the PTO switch not making a connection before. This time I was trying to start my 1850 and it stopped cranking . The fuel pump is working but the starter is not cranking. When I went to start it this morning it was cranking several times using the glow plug not matter where I positioned the throttle it did not start. Thanks for showing the locations of the switches. Especially the starter polarity one.

Found you video, but also noted that the Kubota looks almost the same as my Mahindra Max28XL. Why is always some little switch that kills these things. Man way too many safety switches. And now I have to go look for reverse polarity fuse. Boy, a simple old MF or Ford would make field work so much easier. Tnx for pointers.

THANK YOU!!

Thanks!

safety switches are a pain, if you need safety switches on a tractor DONT BUY A TACTOR.

Same problem on GR2100.

Is it possible to just remove or delete these switches? Basically have the tractor ignore the switch completely.

we have a BX1860 that isn't starting. when we turn the key we don't get any activity on the dash (lights or gauges). would that be consistent with this issue? is there a way to test if this is the problem before ordering new switches? ty

As you were. USMC!

I was actually driving mine. Turned it off for five seconds because I couldn’t hear what my wife was saying. Went to turn it back on and nothing.

When 'safety' system fail so easily, they're not safe. They will convince owners to bypass those systems.
