My tractor won't start - cranks but doesn't turn over. John Deere 5055E, 2018 model.
For a JD 5055E that cranks but won't start: 1. Check fuel shutoff solenoid - listen for click when key turns 2. Bleed fuel system - air in lines is common after sitting 3. Check fuel filter (part #RE509031) - replace if >500 hrs 4. Glow plugs may need 15-20 sec in cold weather 5. Check battery voltage - needs 12.4V+ for proper starting Most likely: fuel system air or shutoff solenoid. Try bleeding first.

Mike's center pivot irrigation system stops mid-field during a July heatwave. He's 2 miles from the house with no cell signal.
Problem: Without water, his corn crop could be damaged in hours. The control panel shows an error code he doesn't recognize.
Questions asked:
"What does error code E-47 mean on a Valley center pivot?"
"How do I manually override the safety shutoff?"
Result: OutpostAI identifies the error as a pressure sensor fault, walks Mike through the bypass procedure, and his pivot is running again in 20 minutes.
Sarah notices a calf acting lethargic on a Sunday evening. The nearest large-animal vet is 90 minutes away and closed until Monday.
Problem: She needs to know if this is an emergency requiring an after-hours call, or if she can monitor overnight.
Questions asked:
"3-week calf, not nursing, temp 103.5, no diarrhea - emergency?"
"What signs mean I need emergency vet care?"
Result: OutpostAI helps Sarah assess the symptoms, recommends monitoring with electrolytes overnight, and provides specific warning signs that would require immediate vet care.
A storm knocks out power to Tom's off-grid solar system. His battery bank shows an error and the inverter won't restart.

"How do I manually reset the BMS on Battle Born batteries?"
Result: OutpostAI guides Tom through the reset sequence, identifies a tripped BMS as the issue, and has his system back online within an hour.
