Battery switches have their good and bad sides.
The bad:
Using one on a 6 volt system is another source of resistance, the last thing a 6v system needs!
If you use one, look for something in the 200+ amp range. Preferably a sealed marine switch, mounted away from the corrosive battery, as in where the ground cable connects to the engine block.
Good chance the drain is a symptom of another problem, possibly a warning that something is not right. Could be a corroded connection, failing insulation, a pinched or chewed wire, water inside the ignition switch or amp meter...
Shouldn't be too hard to find on such a simple machine.
The good:
It will eliminate parasitic drain.
Disconnecting the battery on any piece of farm equipment is a good safety measure. Mouse chewed, pinched, old deteriorated shorted wiring can be a source of disaster!
