I have a 4020 with the 24v battery system and I have several questions.. just trying to understand a little better, and the do's and don'ts (charging specifically).
The left (drivers side) battery is + --> right -, and - to the starter. Right battery has its positive going to the starter.
1) It's my understanding that if I have a 12v charger, I can just hook it up to the battery, as I would any battery. + to +, - to -. No need to disconnect the cables at all. Is that correct?
2) The tractor started fine after sitting in the cold shed all winter, but I put a trickle charger on the left battery the night before last and let it charge all night, and when I went to start it yesterday, it wouldn't turn over at all.
3) Jumping.. When the tractor was dead, I hooked a charger up to the right battery (figuring the left battery was full from the trickle charger all night) and it didn't help. As soon as I hooked it up to the left battery, it started right up.
4) The tractor ran it for probably 3-4 hours yesterday, and cranking over today was still very weak.. is that normal?

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
