Ive only owned this beast a couple weeks. The first time it did this I had hopped out to move something and open a gate and the engine just died - I thought maybe it was like a timed safety shut down or something. It started right up once I was back inside it and cranked it. Since then though it has died 6 or 7 times many times while Im in it but I think only at idle or low load. I also think it might have had trouble just starting by cranking, but if I turn off the key and then on and crank it seems to always start right up. I have no clue where or how to start to debug - are there any codes or info to help know why it shuts off? It sure feels like a shut off as opposed to an idle or running/combustion issue - no sputtering or hesitating - just dies as if some saftey switch closed or such..
