I have seen post after post where many are converting their 24Volt systems over to 12Volt.
I am curious why so many are changing over. My 4020 24 volt system has been good to me, can't say it won't fail tomorrow. One thing I did learn about the 24 volt system was the batteries, I was going through batteries every two years, having to replace them, starter problems because the batteries I was purchasing did not have the cranking amps to spin the engine over, resulting in hard cranking and starter failing. I spoke with several about the option of changing to 24 volt, then I spoke with one JD Mechanic and he told me to purchase two 650 cranking amp batteries and all my problems would go away. Guess what, they did, especially in cold weather starting. All I needed was something that would spin the motor. I have not had any problems and batteries are going on 5 years now. Just wanted to ask and put in my two cents.
