On Friday we got a few more inches of the white stuff and it was colder out than I have ever operated the machine, say around 10F. Used the glow plugs to get it started, it stumbled a bit but caught on the second try. I probably only let it warm up for 5 minutes or so, but when I went to pull out of the garage in Mid range it started to shut off like I wasn't in the seat or something. So I gave it another minute and went to Low and started plowing.I went on to finish the driveway and 10 minutes later it did if again out by my sometimes busy road. Now it has my attention because in occasion I turn around on that road.
I don't think the fuel was gelled and all of the safeties were where they belong, PTO not engaged, in the seat, etc. It didn't do it again after the stumble at the end of my lane but i don't need it to do it again. And since it was intermittent I doubt I can make it repeat the event.
Any ideas out there? Would it be possible for the seat switch to do something funny in the cold? I am around 200 pounds....it knows I was there in the saddle.
