The idea is good, but you can't use a transformer.  Transformers are for 
AC; DC saturates the core.  You want to use a DC to DC converter.  A 
number of companies make them.  You will have to choose based on the 
current required for what you want to hook up.

I think it might be a good idea if I take the non-36V accessories off
the batteries and wire them to a 36-to-12V step-down transformer, so
that everything on the tractor draws 36V to drain all batteries evenly. 
What kind of transformer do I need, and where can I get one?
