Well, I'll put in my 2 cents on this. A 6 volt battery should work well and start most of your stuff well BUT only if you have proper sized battery cables, all your connections are clean and tight, and the wiring and electrical system is in good shape. Also, the starter HAS to have a good ground, clean the starter and it's mounting location on the tractor with sandpaper where steel to steel contact is made, that'll make a big difference in itself as well as making sure the starter (inside) is working properly. That would include the ignition system as well be it magneto or battery ignition. As for winter, take the 6V battery inside, a warm 6V battery has a lot of power compared to a cold one believe me. I don't see the reason for going to 8V batterys, they are hard to find and expensive and in my opinion, not necessary. Now if you insist on going 12V, then convert to an alternator and go that way, but 8V just doesn't make sense to me.
