It's a narrow, specific fix-it story rather than a tractor overview, useful mainly for L3301 owners facing a no-start issue.
Posted by the Peterson Farms of Nashville DIY channel, an owner-operator homestead channel sharing hands-on experiences with their own Kubota L3301.
In this case the hydrostatic throttle pedal linkage was stuck off center. Moving the pedal back and forth and centering it fixed the no-start problem.
Check the safety switch, battery connections and terminals, the starter relay fuse, and the PTO switch by wiggling it to clear any clogged linkage.
It is possible. The video suggests jiggling and pushing the PTO switch even if it looks off, to make sure the linkage is not clogged or gunked up.
OC shows on the dashboard when the safety switch circuit is open, as mentioned while checking the safety switch wiring on the tractor.
