Re: (ET) How often to charge large frame tractors sitting idle?



Oops!. Sorry.  Hit the wrong key.

Over winter, with light snow/no snow or minimum tractor use, I set the on-board charger for a full cycle no more than once per month; got this from Gunn.  This may equal RJ's method explained below.

plowing seasons?

Lately the weather around here has been shifting from warm and soggy
to bitterly cold pretty rapidly.
