MFGC2300 stopped running and won't start

[Axman]

First off, I know very little about mechanical things. The tractor has 65 hours on it and has been starting and running great up until today. I started it up, let it warm up then drove it a short distance then turned the throttle to low and got off to grab my gloves. It started running rough, the valves seemed to get louder then it died and won't start at all. It turns over just fine but won't start. Any help would be appreciated.

First, I'd check the fuel filters, don't take much to saturate the filter element and block fuel.

UPDATE:
I checked the fuel filter and there was a lot of debris floating around in there...even a small fly. The fuel tank was getting low right before this and I had added about half a tank of diesel before starting the engine. I am getting fuel flow from the pump to the engine because I checked this. I am worried about the debris I found in the fuel. Can this cause the injectors to stop up? If so, that probably means a service trip, right?

What really ticks me off is, I just got this tractor last year, it only has 65 hours on it and the dealer I bought it from doesn't carry Massey Ferguson anymore. Any idea how I locate a place that will service this tractor? Do most dealerships service other brands? This is all new stuff to me.

Thanks

Still not an excuse for them to fail to do warranty repairs.

How good was the fuel you put in I had a service call once and found a lot of water in the fuel tank.discovered that the kids had filled his fuel container with water and he put it in his Kubota,Best to drain fuel tank change filters prime injector pump.Also does your tractor have a safety switch under the seat that might be bad.
BTW if you let us know where you are located the readers might be able to steer you to a place where you could get it serviced in your area.

Update 2:

I had a mechanic come out today and this is what he found. The fuel at the injector looks is very cloudy looking and he thinks it's water contamination. The injector is not sending fuel to the engine. He want's to pull the injector pump and send it to an injector shop. Also he wants to drain the fuel tank and start with good fresh deisel. It ticks me off that I've had the tractor just over a year and I'm already having to pull the injector. This guy seems pretty knowleagble and was recommended by a reputable local service.

I guess I really need to be careful with my fuel handling in the future.
