The best safety feature on any tractor is a battery main disconnect switch. When you're not on the tractor you can just leave it off. When running the tractor, if something ever goes wrong somewhere - like perhaps a wire starts burning, you can immediately flip the master switch off. You can buy them for around $35. Deere uses them as standard equipment on their industrial stuff. They come in ratings in the 400 - 1000 amp range.
As far as protecting individual circuits, I prefer self-resetting circuit breakers over fuses. That way if you get a momentary short circuit or grounded wire, you won't be out in the middle of nowhere with no extra fuses and no power. That's why most autos don't use fuses in the headlight circuits, only breakers. You can buy them for $4-$7 apiece. I usually put a main 30 or 40 amp breaker at the large wire that runs from the full time positive battery source to the main post on the alternator. This circuit can be touchy though if your charge rate exceeds the breaker capacity. The breaker is designed to trip regardless what direction the current is travelling. I also use a breaker on the IGN circuit off the key switch, and also on the light circuit. Size depends on what wire you're using and what kind of amperage draw you have.

A man and his wife came to the dealer and looked me over real good. After many talks with the salesman a deal was struck and I, along with a M2 plow, c
