When i jump the starter it will start. Where should i look next? Starter relay? I get a loud clicking under the dash and it puts a huge strain on my battery when i do not jump the starter
L4610 not starting

I'd begin by cleaning battery cables and terminal ends tightening securely when done. Clean and tighten frame ground as well. If the problem persists after charging the battery monitor the battery voltage while attempting to start. You may find the battery is not up to snuff and due for replacement. If this does not solve your problem you may wish to consider a relay between the key switch and the solenoid.
Clicking usually means reduced current flow, enough to engage the bendex, but not enough to turn it over. Check the area where the ground bolts to the front frame. These areas get super dirty over time. If you ever have a battery leak, it will also worsen the situation by leaking acid down to that connection and rusting it out.
All connections have been cleaned, i put in a brand new battery. Is the solenoid behind the steering column inside the cab?
What model of L4610 do you have as it makes a difference in the wiring.
There already is a starter relay on that model.
If it starts when jumped it rules out battery related issues and narrows things down to the safety systems.
I do not understand the large strain on the battery. If the starter is not trying to crank where is this big electrical load coming from.

This morning it started with just the key. After running for a bit it would not start. When I jumped the starter and all it did was make a whiring sound and did not engage on the flywheel, I then got in the tractor and it started by the key, electrical stuff is very confusing for me.
Thanks everyone , i think the culprit was the wiring going to the solenoid. I cleaned it and seems to be fine now.
