L2501 tries to turn off when leaning on the seat too much

[nerwin]

Could it be the operator presence switch? It only seems to occur when I am leaning to the right trying to see what I'm doing with the bucket or forks, sometimes the tractor will act like its gonna stall or turn off then when I move back and sit normal it continues to run.

Starting to think me being 160lbs isn't heavy enough for the seat lol. But it's really annoying.

Has this happened to you? Is it the safety switch or something else? Any ideas would be helpful.

Most likely is. I'm 250 and have similar problems with my BX.

Yep, seat switch. You can look likely see it/them under the seat.

Sometimes when I lean forward to see the implement I'm connecting to the QA mine does that. Most of the switches I remember seeing are on the left side of the seat, so leaning right might cause the switch to think you're getting off the seat.

PS: Eat more and it may help

It's your fat wallet...buy implements and then it'll happen when you lean left.

Seat Safety Switch Bypass

I would like to bypass my tractor's seat safety function with a separate on/off switch. I don't want to have it permanently disabled. Tractor is a 2023 Kubota L4060 ROPS model. I've attached a photo of the wiring. You can see where the safety engage button is located and where I would...

Drove me crazy for more than a while after I got mine. Not "recommended" safety-wise but I left it in place and used a wire tie to defeat it...

I'm glad it's not just me who experiences this and that its nothing wrong with the tractor haha. I seen some folks stand up on their machine while operating it. I assume they have it wire tied or something?

Yep, I zip tied my toggle in the down position. I stand up to see the end of my forks all the time

Just unplug them.

Can you post a photo of how you tied it?

I had it happen the day they dropped my L3901DT off and I thought something was wring with it. But when it started right back up I was wondering what had happen. Went back to doing what I was doing when it shutdown and figured it out. Lean too far to the right. I now know that if I want to lean to the right I move over to the middle of the seat before doing so.

Happens to me all the time.

Sure, it'll have to be tomorrow though.

I wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. I kept running loads up one of my trails and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it always started to stall at the same spot every time. There must be something wrong with the new tractor right? It turns out I bounced up enough and must have unconsciously stiffened up my legs at the same rutted uneven turn.

I am careful to use my seatbelt, but occasionally stand up some going into the shed now that I am storing all of the implements that somehow followed me home

I fixed the problem by super gluing the switches down.

Stop drinking light beer

Perfectly normal on an "un-molested" machine.

I don't have a pictures, but just lift the seat up and actuate the switch by hand.

I'm sure an "unconventional idea" will pop into your head in no time.

Lots of ways to "skin this cat".

The wiring for my safety switch on the B2650 is looped to always hold it down and stay plugged in . It's Super handy when standing up to see what my forks are about to plow into.

One of the very first things that I do after buying a new tractor is to short-out the OP switch.
