Well, you can probably run the 12-volt devices on 6 volts, but your sand spreader won't throw the sand very far, and if it's just a pedal tractor you're winching out of the mud, you'll probably be OK. I once saw a setup an old farmer had on a 6-volt tractor, which consisted of a big pulley on the PTO shaft, running a 12-volt alternator, charging a battery. The battery sat on a tray that the alternator was mounted to, and the whole thing was bolted to the drawbar. It wasn't pretty, and didn't look real safe, but it did give him a source of 12-volt power to take to the field when he needed to jump-start something.
