One of your new switches could be bad, may also have reverse safety switch.

The reverse switch does not come into play; until, the PTO is active. Now if the seat switch connector is loose then shorting strip will kill the engine when the brake is released.

Go to link, use left drop down on page for wiring schematic, click on that to open then expand the schematic so you can see how the wiring circuits connect.

Hopefully you are not using Amazon generic switches.
