Purchased a used 2011 Kubota BX25, brought it to my Aunt's house unloaded it, moved some dirt for her, went to load back on the trailer, shut it off to close a gate, tractor would not restart. Replaced battery, replaced fuel solenoid, drained fuel seller put in, put in new fuel, replaced fuel filters, bled injector, had plenty of fuel coming through, cracked the lines at the injectors, did not get high pressure but got fuel coming out while cranking engine, still will not fire, plenty of air, took off hose at air filter housing cranked engine and it collapsed the hose. Do not know exactly where all safety switches are, tested the black one under the seat and it tested good for continuity, the gray one did not, do not know exactly what that one is for. There is a front loader and a backhoe on the tractor. Tractor has 1200 hrs on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looked at all the YouTube videos available nothing matches my symptoms.
BX25 Cranks won't start

I think that model has a fuel shutoff knob on the dash. Did you by chance pull it out to shut the engine off and not push it back in? You wouldn't be the first.
Your problem is not safety switch related, if they were not right, it wouldn't crank over.
When you turn the key to the glow position and hold it a few seconds, does the indicator start glowing? If so, your glow plugs are most likely working.
Last, the fuel shutoff is a lever on the side of the injector pump. There is a solenoid that pulls that arm forward to shut the engine off. I think yours also has a cable from a pull knob on the dash, to use in case the solenoid is inop. Make sure that lever arm is not pulled forward or the fuel will be shutoff.
Thanks I had a mechanic come look at it, ended up being the injector pump is not supplying enough pressure to pop the injectors.
Had to order a new injector pump. Sorry I work night shift and sometimes don't get time to reply. Hopefully soon I'll have it running. Mechanic saw some "fog" come out when he pulled the injector pump off the second time hoping it's not something serious with the engine, oil looked good no diesel in it. The tractor only has 1200hrs on it. I'll keep you posted and thanks for the response.
