Yes, for sure a loose connection would keep the alternator from putting a charge back into the battery, so eventually the battery gets weaker and weaker, without getting charged back up. Lights might also flicker when hitting bumps, or driving over rough ground. Properly tighten both battery terminals, and also re-tighten the other end of both those cables as well. Once everything is tightened up, start the tractor, put a meter across the battery terminals, and you should read around 13.5 to 13.8 or so on the meter, that will tell you the charging circuit is working, and putting juice back into your battery, so it will be ready for the next start.
