Kubota L2800 Issue

[MrSMiZe]

My tractor is 11 years old and has never had any problem. She has never had any issues ever. Well, like a dumbass I let a friend use it and it wasn't 15 minutes he was knocking on my door the tractor want crank Isn't responding when you turn the key on. It's like you're trying to crank it with the transmission engaged, and as soon as you move the gear lever into neutral, it will crank. I can't hear the solenoid opening or closing. I checked all the fuses and connections. I'll go check again and make sure the tractor is in neutral and stuck between neutral and a forward gear as though the tractor died while in motion. Any help would be greatly appreciated

So is this is a Manual / Gear transmission??? Check PTO switch (he might have played with it or bumped it) make sure it fully set back to off. Check the rest of the Safety switches, too....

Also, Kubota made the L2800 up until 2010 so the "youngest" your tractor could be is 15 years old

My L2800 DT will do the same thing on occasion when the left hand gear selector lever is not fully engaging the safety mechanism--even if it is in Neutral position. I just have to make sure it is fully seated in the Neutral groove and it will start.

Seat safety switch stuck?

So what did the neighbor say he did or was doing when it happened>
