Electrical problems are your biggest worry. A battery disconnect is a good idea but it won't always save you. We were told that the battery shorted out internally on our tractor here. Someone decided to leave it outside for once because we would use it again in a half hour anyway. It was shut off for 10 minutes before it burned. Last summer I was tracking down a bad short on another tractor when I found I could get 6-10 volts between the negative terminal and the tractor frame with the positive cable taken off the battery! Even between negative and the plastic battery case! When I listened close the battery was clicking and ticking up a storm. I'll tell you that battery was out in the open on the gravel driveway in a big hurry! Batterys scare me because of stuff like that!
