My Gehl 4835 DXT stalled while I was pulling a stump. It would not restart and there is a lot of resistance to the starter. I jacked it up with all four wheels off of the ground and when I engage the starter the right wheels move slightly so I assume that side is still engaged. This happened to the previous owner and he said he found a "sweet spot" with the drive controller that would allow it to start. I haven't been able to find that. I cracked several hydraulic hoses to that side in hopes of relieving pressure. It didn't seem to make a difference. I'm over 200 miles from a dealer and I can't move it anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get it working again?
 
Could your aux hydraulics be stuck on too?
I find if you have a creeping problem causing resistance in the engine, release the brake before starting. There will be a slight load, but nothing compared to when the brake is on.

I checked the aux hydraulics and it didn't seem to be stuck on, but something worked...after cracking a bunch of fittings it started right up. I just wish I knew which one did the trick. Thanks for the suggestion.
