I have a B2601 with 64 housr on it. Lately, it randomly seems to lose power while I'm backing up and sometimes stalls. Any isedas as to what would cause this?

Are you shifting your tuchus in the seat? Could be tweaking the seat switch.

Your seat switch may be working now…wouldn’t hurt to check it.
Looks like Hagrid was correct, I am rising up in the seat in order to turn around to see when I'm backing up. So the seat switch works while I'm moving, but not when I'm stopped. When stopped, I can step off the tractor and it will keep running, is that normal?

Yes it is normal , as long as your PTO is not engaged your tractor will stay running. and there is another seat switch to defeat that issue, you can find that in your owners manual
