I have a dry cell (AGM) battery that came in my Farmall 460, but don't really know much about them, So, thanks to your question, I did a little research. Keep in mind.....a LITTLE research. *lol*
First I went to Optima's website. It appears they make their own brand of battery chargers/maintainers, but there doesn't appear to be a setting on them for de-sulfation. I'm going by the text only, as my internet is SUPER slow now and I got tired of waiting for the images to load. Don't know if there was anything I missed on the images. That's one very slow website!
After finding nothing on the Optima site, I did a search to see if dry cell batteries ever needed de-sulfating. Ended up coming across a really nice article from 2011.

These guys are definitely a lot more "in the know" than I am and even they did not know.
Rather than writing down what they did, this link (in my opinion) is truly worth a look:

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
