Okay, heres the deal: A light wimpy charger used briefly isnt gonna help much in starting, although it can help if used long enough to bring the battery up to a good state of charge and warmed up and then you start the tractor. However one of those big honkin 100 or 200 amp boost chargers may be able to spin a relatively small tractor starter motor for a while if it cranks easy n its not too cold.
I dont normally recomend using a 12 volt charger on a 6 volt battery for a rookie but I have done it with care for short times if on a low charge setting and watched so she dont overcharge and do NOT be making or removing conenctions near the battery top where explosive gasses are present........ No matter if a 6 or 12 volt charger once the battery really gets cooking and/or youre using the starter there are explosive gasses near the battery so avoid connection or removal sparks there by attaching the charger (last connection) to a good clean case/frame ground AWAY from the battery. The batterys hot ungrounded voltage is present/available places like the starter switch (where big battery cable attaches) so you avoid sparks near the battery.
