"Randomly turning on and off" sounds like breakers tripping(listen closely to the machine, you can hear them click)...if that's the case, double-check your side load on the motor as well as for any flexing of your gearbox/drivetrain when it's sitting on the ground. A system that runs fine up on blocks may flex when weight is put on it, causing binding and other problems.
