MX5800 stalling out occasionally

[Fallon]

If it's like my MX5200 you don't need to weight the seat to run the PTO when your not in the seat. Just flip the seat up away from the lever.

Use it all the tiem with my Valby Wood Chipper

My L3200 was like that with the flip up seat. You can't flip up the air ride seat on the Grand Ls though.

"[L]et off the gas...?"

What do you mean? Are you speaking about the hydro pedal?

Are you overloading the engine by pushing too hard on the hydro pedal? If so, increase throttle and decrease hydro pedal.

If the engine is shutting down as if you turned the key switch off when on steep side slopes and/or you are leaning to the side in the seat, tighten the seat belt and/or short out the seat switch.

Yes when I let off the pedal. Not overloading at all, just normal operation.

Thanks everyone, it sounds like it may be the seat sensor. Not sure I want to disable it (safety reasons on a steep mountain property) so I guess I'll deal w/ it for now...

I have the same problem with my B2650 cab model. I finally pulled the center cushion out of the seat and found out that the sensor switch is molded into the bottom of the cushion. I can be backing out of the barn, butt firmly planted on the seat, and it will die. I've had it die 4 times in a matter of 10 minutes, then run perfectly the rest of the time that day. Some days I don't have any issues, other days I feel like taking a hammer to it. :banghead: I feel like it, but I would never do it.

Tighten the seat belt.

Similar to my L6060.

I disassembled the seat and shorted out the switch.

All is now well.

Coolbrze did not clarify that I can find whether the engine is "stalling out" as his thread title implies OR is doing an immediate shutdown. Those are two very different problems.

Stalling to me would mean acting as if overloaded or lacking fuel and unable to keep going while an electrical interlock like the seat would produce an almost immediate shutdown. Easily tested: Get up off it slightly and see if the sound/behavior is the same as the problem of the topic.

I need to stand up and view the bucket when I attach it. Also when attaching a 3 point device it is nice to be able to move the tractor slightly. I used a zip tie to control the lever switch on my MX5100. Works great and makes it usable.

If you want to test it. Under the left side of the seat and the floor board is an electrical quick connect for the seat sensor. Disconnect it to disable the seat safety. No wire jumpers needed for this model.
