The owner shows exactly where the switch contacts the seat frame and how to bend it slightly closer for lighter riders or hilly use, adjusting sensitivity so it stays engaged. It's a quick, narrow fix-it tip rather than a full walkthrough, best suited for new B2601 owners hitting this exact problem.
Posted by an owner sharing practical tips learned from personally running the tractor on hilly terrain.
The seat safety switch senses less weight on the seat when you lean to one side on a hill, which shuts off the engine or PTO.
Bend the switch up toward the seat frame so it takes less weight on the seat to keep the PTO engaged, adjusting for your weight and use.
Check the shiny spot where the switch touches the seat frame, and leave a small bit of daylight at the tip, which is about as close as you can get.
