Kubota Tractor won't start...Try This

[JasonSmigiel]

I just want to thank you! Today while working on the land I shut my tractor down for a quick break, when I tried starting the glow plugs and dash would light up but nothing with cranking over. I tied everything I could think of, after no success I turned to you tube. I found your video and tried out the foot pedal switch by rocking back and forth- it worked! I was able to finish the job and save money on calling onto the dealer/ service. Thanks again for your valuable video!!!

Just want to say thank you for the video. I have a 23-year-old Kubota, which is used for plowing snow and hauling firewood. I have had no problem with it till today. Up to our butt in snow from the last few days and it decided not to start... All these years, I have never had one go. SO, I watched your video and subscribed, LIked... This gave me the idea that it was one of those lockouts... I dug in and around, poked prodded, low and behold it was one of them; frozen closed... would have cost me a months pension check to get someone to look at it... Thank You Very Much for the idea...

Outstanding presentation my Friend... Dirt and Mud is the culprit most of the time... They did a poor job in protecting these switches from dirt and mud buildup !!! Thank you for the video...

Just stumbled on this video trying to troubleshoot my Kubota. You just saved me so much headache and wallet ache. Bless you sir.

We have been fighting this mysterious, non-starting problem for over a year!!! It was so intermittent that we could not predict when it was going to happen so I just left my tractor running when working. One time it happened to me with the tractor out in the field and I thought I was royally screwed. 2 days later it just decided to start again!! We have tested everything possible, even the starter to no avail. The fact that juggling the steering wheel, or plugging in the battery tender worked was crazy. There was no way to even explain it to a technician. THANK YOU Virginia Srew. This was an excellent video. Mine is a L3200. Perfect.

Just found this video while stranded in a cold rain with a tractor that suddenly decided it didn’t want to start. Cleared it right up. Thanks!

I rarely comment on YouTube videos but I just wanted to say thank you for posting this. This is exactly the problem I had. Thank you

[rickebel]

My Kubota B3200 wouldn’t start. I just followed the steps you went through and Bingo! I’m up and running! Thank you!

OH MY GOSH !!! Thanks so much for this video. My husband was so upset about his tractor not starting [ps~he just got done fixing the riding mower]. watched this video and BOOM it started. thankyouthankyouthankyou

My husband says “ you saved me a lot of time! So many times you can’t find these things in the manual . It takes experience so I really appreciate you sharing your experience .”

That plunger has given me nothing but problems. I end up watching this video about once a year. So Thanks for making it!

[jeffrowland]

Thanks so much for this video! I thought my bad battery was the problem, but after installing a new one my B3200 still wouldn't do anything. My switch had actually moved upwards in the bracket that holds it in place. I pushed it back into position and the tractor fired right up! Saved me from having to call a mechanic.

My friend, you saved the life of my tractor. I found a piece of wood block right where you said it would be. Must have lodged itself in there when I was mowing.

[NealNehrenz-du]

Thank you friend you saved me a lot of heartache. I had the same switch fail but the plastic portion of the switch had pushed up out of the lower portion and prevented starting. I was working my way through the same steps you did when I ran across your video. You lead me directly to the problem.

[shadstoddard]

That's the problem I was having with my MX5400. You saved me an incredible amount of time, frustration, and money. THANK YOU!

[insiderbloke]

Ditto. Even brought a new battery, had a few beers, calculated the service charge, had a few more beers, then found your helpful video. Great job mate. Cheers from Australia

June 2024, and as below, you just saved me. Went through all the 'known' causes, was ready to call the shop, watched this video...the dang speed control switch! REALLY!! Thanks

Thank you for your video, my B2650 died down an embankment. I thought I would need a tow truck just to pull it out to get it serviced. I checked all the fuses and tapped on everything, jumped the seat safety switch, still nothing. Then I watched your video. My switch is underneath above some lines but that was the problem. I poked it a few times and it started right up!!! Thanks again 😁 Your a genius!!!💃

You saved me in the dark on a Saturday night, after a long sweaty day. Thank you.
