Won’t start after getting stuck in mud.

Since so far away from barn, turn key to on position, confirm fuel cutoff solenoid actuated to allow to run and hot-wire to starter post and get running. If cold hot-wire to glow plugs of intake air heater.

At least you can get back to the barn to figured out problem

Turning Key to stop should kill engine when solenoid drops out or kill fuel at shut off.

Interlocks only needed at start. This bypasses all of them. Just bring power to starter solinoid connection. Usually a spade or ring connection. Only needed light gauge hot-wire. Ten or twelve. Put a fuse in series if concerned.

Newbie here. MT357HC under 10 hours I got stuck in some mud and forgot about the option to switch to 4wd so I spun the tires and kept reversing and forwarding trying to get out. Once I remembered 4wd I got out easily. I turned the tractor off to walk and check out the area. Got back in and it won’t start. Will turn on but won’t crank or even attempt to crank. I’ve read that safety switches commonly cause this. It just beeps. Battery is fine. Are there any specific safety switch’s you think I hit while stuck and trying to get out? Anything else you can think of? Thank you.

On both of my LS tractors, I often get stuff stuck in the pedal safety switch (which is under the tractor). Then the tractor won't even turn over. Now it's the first spot I check.

Put it in neutral and push in the clutch pedal

So very disappointing when posters don't come back and finish a thread.....

Like yours mine would not start and after several days looking for the problem I found a loose wire on safety switch under the seat, also on mine the seat belt has to be engaged or it wont start.

The OP hasn't been back on the site since Jan 5th. Looks like he joined just to post the question and must have gotten it fixed so he left.

I hope the OP posts his result. It could help someone else with a similar problem in the future.

Just a few things I would check
Is the power take off turned off ?
Is the shift lever in neutral ?
Is the parking brake set ?

Also if it has hydrostatic drive my Kubota foot pedal has to be centered between reverse and neutral. With the cold weather mine has stated sticking

I’m sorry for the late update. I’ve tried all I could so my dealer is going to send out a technician. I don’t have an appointment date yet but I will definitely update when I find out what happened.
