Keeps shutting down

[Hardaway Farmer]

I have a Kubota M9000 . 2000 model with 1300 hrs. When Baling hay it will bale about three bales , then it it will loose power and shut completely down. After it sits for 10 or 15 mins it will crank and go again, but the same thing happens.
I have drained the fuel tank, replaced fuel filters numerous times, and still happens.
it Just started doing this in the last few days. It worked fine for our first cutting,but just started this when we started on our second cutting. If you recognize this problem, please share your solution. thanks.

Are there any vents on the fuel tanks. Possibly a tube of some sort that the mud dobbers could plug. If it quits again, try removing the fuel cap and see what it does.

Try loosening the fuel tank cap to see if that makes a difference. If it does then the tank is not getting outside air causing it to pull a vacuum.

Recently one of our tractors did this, we changed filters, blew line into the tank, added diesel heat and Power Service. It worked about a month before doing it again. My brother took the tank out and found the outlet clogged with debris; cleaned it out and all is well.
