I have a Kubota G3200. I was using it the other day and shut it off to clean the deck and it wouldn't start after that. The battery has power and the glow plugs work. I've tried jumping the solenoid but still nothing.

hi, yeh its probably the glow plugs they need replacing every few years and will probly set you back about $15 to $20 each
if you dont know how to change them then get a mechanic to do it Cheers, josh

are glowplugs working or low compression

Your tractor may not be starting due to an electrical fault. If your tractor turns off on the key instead of on a pull cord it could be the electrical shut off on the pump. On the pump you will see a wire going to a big nut, undo the nut, there will be a plunger type pistern, remove this, if the tractor starts you have an electrical fault where the pistern is not moving up and down from the key. Basically when you turn the key off the little pistern goes down and stops the fuel. Hope this helps. Regards, Rich

Have you checked the pre heater plug/plugs or there could be a fault with the injector pump, slacken one pipe where it attaches to the injector and crank the engine diesel should leak out after a few seconds cranking.
