Only thing I can think of, if you have good clean fuel, maybe the vent in the fuel cap is plugged. Next time it stops, try taking the fuel cap off and see if that will let it run.

This exact thing happened to me when my wife added regular gas instead of diesel to the tank.

My first thought was also filters but, water in fuel? Any trash in fuel tank that is getting pulled down to the outlet and cutting off the fuel and when tractor is sitting vacuum releases and the trash floats clear.

Had a wasp do that to one of mine. Hard to see. When it cuts off with you try removing fuel filter and see if you have a good fuel flow. If you do look elsewhere. At same time look in air intake before the filter to see if any pest lodged there or trash. Also your fuel cut off is fully open? Had one of those to get damaged and it would look open when not fully open.
