Need some help! Tractor is partially in road. Was mowing and got caught up in my electric fence. Freed the tractor from the fence and pulled partially into my drive and turned it off. Went to start and turn the key and find no lights, sounds, or anything and it's partially in the road. Any ideas? I did turn it off rather abruptly because I was in a hurry so I didn't idle it down as usual and it was up at 3k rpm and just turn the key off. Battery checked out fine with a meter at 12.8 volts. Ran through the fuses in the engine compartment there and all seem good. Can I safely tow this to my barn or do I need to do something special as to not damage the hydro? Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind. Logic seems to go out the window when stress and some panic come in. I was just out there and remembered that the guy I bought it from mentioned he had to replace one of the battery terminals. So I figured I'd clean them all up and look at it. Sure enough the ground cable had this replacement terminal on it so I disassembled it, cleaned it, and put it back together and was happy to hear a noise as I put the cables back on the battery. Electricity is such a strange thing and I've always known how important a good ground is. And that seemed to be it. Was happy to get it started and moved out of the road. Stress level is way down now.
