First problem with my Kubota..

[Grandad4]

When it does this, will the 3pt still raise/lower? Does pto still spin? Power steering still working? Does it make any difference if you shift the range selector? Any odd noises when it acts up?

Just making a guess that there is something external to the transmission -a shift linkage, a sensor or switch as mentioned, etc. that's either bad or misaligned.

Sounds like the shut-off solenoid is killing the engine,for whatever reason.Try disconnecting the wire to the shut-off solenoid on the injection pump and operate the tractor to see if the problem still remains.If no problem,you've verified an electrical fault,maybe safety switch,etc.Reconnect wire to shut-off to stop engine.Post back-Good Luck.

My mistake re intellipanel...sorry, my bad

...to rephrase, when this happens, is there an indication of HST gear shift position??? or has it slipped into neutral somehow??

Problem is, as I read it, he can't simply shift it back into gear when this happens, he has to "reboot" the engine, and then everything is fine again...which seems very odd.

I check under my L2800HST for anything might cause problem...nothing to be seen..I stumped.

Looking for to your updates.

It doesn't sound electrical. Hard to imagine this one. Next time idle the engine and push the clutch in and out. You should hear the pump rattle and then stop again. I don't see how the clutch could not work though. It sounds expensive.

Not sure if your profile is up to date... 200 hours or is it more? What year did you get your L2800 HST? Any chance of Warranty? Would you say that your L2800 HST has been used hard or hardly used? (trying to rule out any abuse issue) What was the "minor work" you were doing when it first happen? ...and sorry to hear about your problem

Wondering if you found the problem Doug?

As was pointed out, I did find the problem with the help of my dealers service manager.. the problem was a leaking suction hose coming from the hydraulic pump.. small cracks in the hose, temporarily fixed with a little Gorilla tape.. A new hose has been ordered. Thanks guys...
