Unless this is a really tiny battery, ONE hour of running would not drain it down to 10.3 Volts. We've run tractors for 2-3 entire DAYS just on the battery.
Even leaving the ignition key on for another 3 hours would not drain it that far.
You've got a MAJOR drain on the battery somewhere, or a faulty battery.
Unhook the battery, charge it up, and leave it sit disconnected overnight. Measure the voltage the next morning.
As it is, I would leave the battery unhooked when you're not using the tractor until you find the problem because you have a MAJOR draw, probably a short circuit. Could be a risk of fire there if you've got oil/gas leaks.
