WELCOME to these Forums...

Definitely not charging, check out the charging circuit. And alternator drive belt.
Look for failed inline fuses or fuse-able links.
Be sure that Both ends of Both battery cables are clean and tight.
Do Not operate the pto clutch without the charging system, you will burn out the clutch.
BTW that has a Nice 3 cylinder Kubota engine... :smile:KennyV
