Why won't my tractor start?

[@DougBittinger]

THANK YOU! I see guys talking about these switches in the forums, but the only one I know where it is is the seat switch. Now I'm better informed.

How's she goin'? Nice video Ed. This could be very useful to a lot of folks, myself included. These switches can be a pain but they do serve a good purpose. Thanks for doing this. Take 'er easy!!

[@twinbrookacres]

Excellent video as always, Ed. I didnt know (or dont remember) the deck is a mulcher too. That explains why my deck does a good mulching job!

[@Redneck_Ed]

@twinbrookacres I think only the 54" deck is advertised as a mulcher, but yeah the 60" model chews up the leaves really well.

I have been considering a PTO driven chipper. Am I correct in assuming I would have to defeat the seat switch for the PTO to spin while I am off the tractor?

[@Redneck_Ed]

@charlesperry1051 Yes, you would.

Why doesn't your dealer fix this? I thought these tractors had a 5 year warranty?

[@Redneck_Ed]

Mine isn't broken, I was just explaining a few user errors that can cause the tractor to not start. I have the 10 year powertrain warranty on mine which was a $500 upgrade from the base 5 years, but I don't think switches are covered beyond 2 years.
