On the ranch that my wife and I manage, we have a John Deere 310 backhoe that serves as our primary snow mover. Well, it's been sitting for about 2 weeks and I needed it to move some snow that's drifted in front of a hay stack. There's no heater, so I plugged in the battery charger. It ran for about 4 hours before I went out to start it. The temp outside was in the mid 20's. It only gave me about 5 cranks before it died. I then tried various combinations of battery charger, jumper cables, and ether. After an hour I gave up. My boss claims that the batteries are shot after less than two years. I'm wondering if maybe the electrical system needs some work. You guys have any thoughts/advice. Like I said, this is our primary snow mover and we get plenty of snow, so it'd be nice if it started reliably.
Thanks
