New Holland TC 35 D cut off during stress. Won't start or even make a sound.

Good morning,

I was using my tractor w/front end loader to knock over a small tree. I have done this many times and know the tractor has been capable of handling it. However, I have occasionally pushed it too far and it would cut off on me. This happened yesterday but w/a new twist. Where it has always started right up previously, yesterday it was dead. Doesn't make a sound, like if I tried to start it in gear; not a thing. I thought maybe there was too much stress on the engine as it didn't release at all when it cut out, so I got my truck and pulled it backward to release the pressure. That didn't work as the bucket is partly in the ground and when I pulled the tractor backward it did come back a few feet but the bucket is still in the ground, so I think there is still pressure on the bucket. I tried to jump start it off my truck; total silence. I moved the gear stick back and forth into neutral thinking maybe the engine didn't disengage; nothing. I don't know if any of this is relevant or not

I feel like there might be a problem w/one of the safety things that won't allow the tractor to start if they aren't engaged. But again, I have no clue. I just know it has been dependable from the time I've had it and I am lost without it. I am in the process of putting up a new fence by myself and can't continue without my wonderful tractor.

Does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be? If yes, I have to ask you to be very specific in any directions as I am mostly totally ignorant about this stuff. I keep the fluids filled and expect it to just work when I ask it!

Thanks so much,

Twodaughters

Have you checked to be sure your not trying to start it with your speed range selector in gear...be sure it is in neutral and the transmission is in neutral and check to be sure the PTO is off and did not accidentally get pushed on ...Other than that...I can't think of anything...Others will have more I'm sure but first check these things and let us know unless you have already checked them...

Bob, thanks so much for your response. I had checked all those things and all was as it should be. However, I did do a search on this wonderful site and got a couple of possible answers. The first one worked!! Yea! One of the fuses blew and it just needed to be replaced.

Thanks again,
