This is a recollection from some years back. Bear with me.
Ford pickups and medium duty (and maybe others) had an ignition module on the fender well. They are sorted out by colors as I remember - you might have a blue one for instance. I thought the coding was a little odd because it wasn't really a different color. Maybe it was a tag or something. I can't recall.
I only dealt with these once but it sounds like it may be it. I had a school bus that was fine as long as you were moving. When the weather warmed up and you did repeated stops it would just stall. You could crank all you wanted. When you opened the hood and it cooled down a bit it would start right up. Apparently the module was breaking down internally and heat made it quit. It caused bizzare things to happen. I only knew what it was when I mentioned it to an old guy who happened to have had the same thing happen.
From my experience it could have even been the field or way you were cutting. If a breeze was blowing on the module and it didn't get too hot it would be fine. The module wasn't expensive as I recall. Unplug it and take it in to Napa and they can fix you up.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
