Hour meter - not moving?

[Serge]

2020 Toro Titan, 24.5hp, does the hour meter run when blades on only? Or does the engine have to be full throttle for hour meter to move? Just spent 4 hours (3/4 throttle) pulling a spray trailer and hour meter has not moved. Any thoughts?

My JD hour meter record when the engine is on. Maybe the wire is loose or not connected.

They're pretty much all wired to run whenever the key is on, even if the engine is not running.

This ^^^^^^

I would look for the wire connections. If they are fine contact your dealer should be a warranty claim at that point.

My ferris is like that. They wired it to the pto, so the hour meter only runs when the blades are on. I guess too many idiots leave the key on with the engine off. I wired up a hobbs meter in addition to the regular one, so now I know total run time and blade run time. lol I have like 188hrs total on the engine and 113hrs that the blades have been spinning.
