Thank you sir! Got one of those also.

Well, after thawing out from my first outing today (is VERY windy today), ventured back out and finished getting all the snow off of the places it shouldn't :wink: be. Got everything ready to put the charger on the primary truck. Made sure all snow was swept out of the crack. It has a tendency to freeze the door shut sometimes if I don't. Anyway, pulled the hood release, and nothing! ARG! Doesn't happen very often, but can be any temp warm or cold when it hangs. So, no charging the truck today.

While warming up earlier, was going over the responses and doing more buying research, and finally made my choices.

Am getting 5 of these. They're a name brand, have fairly decent reviews, and this is by far the best price I've found!

They're not "waterproof", but considered weather resistant. Can mount these in sheltered areas where it is easy to simply unplug and go.

Also got one of these for the Farmall 460:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HWL4N08/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's more power, so can move it around to a different battery if needed, plus it's waterproof with an IP67 rating.

And finally, as our engines can sometimes sit for long periods of time, I checked around for a battery de-sulfator.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q3CM2QY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The reviews on this are really good. Seeing as how batteries have gotten so expensive, it just seems logical to make the investment to keep the batteries in tip-top order.

The first reviewer on that de-sulfator has a really long review. Was saying how he got some golf cart batteries that were to be scrapped and hooked them up to this de-sulfator. According to the review, he got 5 more years of use from most of the batteries!! I'll be thrilled if I can get 2 extra years per battery.

Again, thank you folks for the responses!
