Hi, New to this forum, just took delivery of a new 2370 this morning. It came with a FEL, 54" deck, and a landpride box blade. I had some rock delivered a few days ago, so I took off the deck and leveled the pile of rock out, all was well, tractor had great power, the FEL and box blade worked great, I am still getting used to it, but more seat time will help.
Well, it was nearly 100° outside, so after getting the rock spread out, decided to shut her down and get some water to drink. After cooling off, I went back outside to get some more seat time, turned the key and nothing, no dash lights, flashers, light, or the ability to start....completely dead. Checked the battery, it is good, connections were tight. I am guessing a wire or plug came loose, so will call the dealer in am to get it fixed. I got to work (play) for about 2 hours, hopefully this is fluke deal, really love this tractor....any ideas on what would cause the entire electrical system to go dead? Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

By the way, enjoy reading the posts on here, great site.

Saftey Switch will not take the Dash lights out, I Start my new 2670 from the Standing Position. Might have Blown the Fuse

Welcome to OTT!
Have you called your dealer? It sounds like a clear warranty issue, and I would let them figure it out. You paid for that warranty.

Called the dealer this morning, they sent a mechanic over about an hour after I called (I live 30 minutes away). He began trouble shooting the tractor, main fuse was blown, turns out the same mechanic had put the loader on my tractor, well when he did, he pinched the main harness between the frame and loader bracket. I guess after using for a while, caused the wire to chaf causing a dead short. Right now I am waiting his return, he had to run back to dealership to getting some soddering equipment to fix the problem. Am pleased with their fast response to my problem.
