So... I'm new to tractors and there's more bells and whistles then ik what to do with almost even moreso when they don't work like they should. So I'd ran a parked regeneration about a month ago and seemingly everything was fine well last week if ran it all day and it never missed a lick. I'm heading back to where it's parked and it starts missing to the point where it shuts off I think it's the fuel that I'm out unfortunately the fuel gauge hasn't worked since purchase.(Another question) So I put it in neutral as I'm on a hill going down and coast nearly back to the garage I needed to start it to get through a flat piece of ground well I started it and it sounded fine take it out of park and the throttle started fluctuating and came to a stop again this time the stop light and the engine info indicator were both on and then a alarm beep. Turn the key completely off and back on starts up but throttle is fluctuating get back to the garage idle down and let it cool then off. For some fuel thinking I was out I put 5gl in and knew I had plenty in there before I put it but the issue remained.
I'm not the quickest on response bc I don't always have service where I am, its very hot or miss so if you do reply and don't get a response right away my apologies and thanks in advance for any help that you can give. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the fuel or not getting fuel possibly but was wondering if anyone else has encountered such and what it was. Again thanks for any and all help, muchly appreciated!! God bless!

Welcome I’m afraid to guess sir. Sounds like you will work it out.

How many hrs of use since fuel filter was changed?? What's the ambient temp when tractor stopped operating? I suggest to check for good fuel flow from tank to inj pump. It's possible fuel strainer in bottom of fuel tank is clogged.

Thanks I think you're right and I have since replaced the fuel filter but also I tried to let the water out of the water separator and now I can't get the tractor to start at all. The lights come on the dash but that's it. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance!

Does the tractor turn over at all? Is the shuttle shift in neutral? Clutch pushed in while trying to start?

No it isn't making a noise. The dash lights come on and that's all. I don't believe I tried sitting down and pushing in the clutch everything was in neutral but shuttle was in park.

Ok this is what I replaced the fuel strainer. Not the fuel filter. That's my mistake for mis calling the strainer the fuel filter.

Most newer tractors have a message thing to notify you, IF some of the criteria isn’t met for starting. I believe mine shows up as I turn the key to start it. Just a thought sir good luck
