I searched through countless old threads and couldn't find anything that matched my problems I'm having so decided to start a new one. Have had my new holland 175 track machine for years and love it. It's all joystick operated, starts and runs like a dream every time. My problems first started when I was driving along and the seat belt light came on and it stopped dead in its tracks although seatbelt was still fastened. This has happened twice. lately when I am operating it, all works fine for about 20 minutes and then I lose all bucket and boom function. I can still drive fine, just can't raise or tilt bucket. Sometimes I am able to undo seat belt or shut it off and restart and will work again but not usually. If I let it sit for awhile, come back the next day it works every time for another 20 or 30 minutes. Seems like an electrical issue, maybe a seat switch or seatbelt switch. But the fact that it seems to happen only after it's good and warmed up, and then always works again after I let it sit for awhile doesn't really support that theory. side note- I live in an extremely rural area and have begged every mechanic I know of to tackle this and they are either too busy or not interested, so as the old saying goes ...If you want something done right..... Thanks for any feedback.
 
It could be the seat switch, seat harness or seat belt. When the situation arises again check if you have power at the seat belt wire harness connector and if power is is going through the seat belt switch to the other terminal of the seat belt harness.
