No specific knowledge, but generally I would check the fuses and check that the battery cables are clean /tight (all ends), including any grounds.

check the battery and it's connections. I've had similar weird electric things happen and was caused by a battery going bad.

Welcome, and appreciate your service with your Fire Department.
When you use all capital letters it’s like you’re YELLING.
Post #2 above is a good place to start.
The Kioti Mechron comes in a 3 cyl and 4 cyl version. I’m thinking that it’s probably a battery or relay issue? Having said that, throwing parts at the problem without proper diagnosis wouldn’t be cheap. Having a dealer only 40 miles away is awesome, and I think that a trip there is the best thing to do.

If you want a Mechron Service manual, the part number is DZC1-W04 and any Kioti dealer can order it for you.

Do you have a dump bed or a PTO switch that could have been pulled/pushed/prodded? First thing I'd check would be safety switches, seat -- Whatever.

Check the easiest things first

Simple stuff first. Make sure the signal wire to the start solenoid is plugged in. Second, check the start relay and start fuse under the front hood. 9 times out of 10, what you are describing will be one of these 3 items.

Hope this helps,
