Hi, I am new here. My Kubota MX4800 recently got back from its 100 hours service and after about ten hours, it shuts off randomly and now wont move. For example, it cranks, but when I touch the forward HST lever w/ my foot, it shuts off. Thoughts? Fuel line, battery? where to start. stays outside so could be a mouse chewed a wire. Thanks!! - Jackson Walker

Sounds like a seat switch or associated wiring to me.
As Matt said - - does it shut off like turning the key off, or does it stumble and quit after some time?

My first thought was a safety switch if it quits immediately.

Seat switch was first thought. Tractor doesn't "know" someone is in the seat, so as soon as you push the treadle pedal F/R, it quits.....

Copy that. Its an immediate shut off as with a switch. makes sense. I will check that this evening. Thank you! will update.
