Mowing Just Bought BX2200 Won't Start

I am pretty sure it does, maybe I was thinking the newer models does like 23 series and up, but I am thinking there is no way kubota would ship one without a safety seat switch even on something that old. Its sold in the usa afterall and the overdo of safety has been around for quite awhile. A simple look under the seat would tell you if there is one or not. perhaps the previous owner took it out. I just dont feel safe with pto running with you getting up from the seat AFTER you engaged the pto. You can bypass it by putting the seat up before starting pto. For this to be bypassed just perplexes me and this might be the reason why you are having issues now if it been modified. Hopefully someone with a 22 series BX can confirm my thinking here or correct me.

I agree have a beer watch football or whatever.... let them figure it out.

Also the BX 2200 does not have a safety switch on the seat, only on the PTO and speed control levers.

Did you get any manuals for the tractor from the dealer, if not PM me and I will send you what I have. Welcome to the BX 2200 club

In fact, NY_Yankees_Fan says here that it doesn't. Is this inaccurate?

My BX 2200 does not have a seat safety switch. My BX 2660 does (or should I say 'did).

My tractor purchased new in March 2002 does not have a switch on the seat. I can chip all daylong with the seat down and the PTO runs.

Just to bring it a little closer, my BX 2230, speculated to be a 2004 model, does have the switches. So maybe it was an upgrade in the middle of the 2200 run or a change with the 2230 model.
