12V spins your engine faster and starts it better in all conditions, especially if it is very cold or if the engine has marginal compression. *12V with an alternator is more reliable and uses a solid state VR instead of a decrepit system of points, coils and electromagnets to regulate the charging voltage. If you don't think solid state is better show me a new flat screen TV, cell phone or computer that uses tubes and I'll buy you a cup of coffee. *12V is more forgiving of dirty contacts on/in the entire wiring harness. *12v is the industry standard and has been for nearly 50 years. That's longer than 6V ever was and getting longer every year. *12v allows you to run sprayer pumps, flashing lights, winches and a host of other modern accessories on your tractor. *12V lights are brighter. *A 12v alternator will easily put out more amps than an old fashioned generator and vr. *An alternator will charge at an idle. Generator usually will not. *A 12v system is safer, ie: Most people know how to jump a 12v negative ground car, truck or tractor. How many people know how to safely jump a 6v positive ground tractor with a 12 battery without something exploding in their faces? *6v requires big hairy - big as your thumb wires and cables throughout the system. *12v batteries are to be found just about anywhere, are cheaper than 6v and are usually maintenance free. * And last but not least, is this your only tractor? If so who needs an odd ball 6v battery? Like, what kind of battery is in your your daily driver, boat, your RV, your classic car or even your 4 wheeler or snowmobile if you have them? Why have that odd ball?

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
