While tilling one of my plots, the tractor suddenly shut down. Not sure if I hit a big rock, but even so, I have tilled this plot numerous times and hit large rocks. The tractor has shut down before (tiller has a slip clutch) but starts right back up again. Anyway, this time would not start. No indicators on the dash. Tractor will start if I turn key all the way to the right but dies as soon as I release. I replaced the 10A instrument/ Relay fuse, got dash indicator and started up and started tilling again. Hit another big rock (where the heck do these come from? I have tilled this 4 times now starting from a grass field. Planted 2 cover crops and removed tons of rocks and figured it was pretty clean). This time replaced fuse and it immediately blows. Tried 3 new fuses in a row. All blow immediately. Checked the battery voltage and load with a load tester. Although the tractor is over 5 years old, battery still checks out. Don't know if the tiller has anything to do with it or if it's just a coincidence. Maybe bad relay? Won't be able to get in touch with my dealer till Monday and was hoping to get this clover seed down over the weekend. Oh well. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
