We have a 40 that we use to plow snow with and it still has the original 6 volt system. I have started it at -30 slow to crank but it started, which in my mind is all that counts. It is stored inside an out building and all we do is hand a trouble light on the dip stick. The only year we ever had an issue with it starting in the winter was the year we couldn"t afford to replace the dieing battery. Otherwise we just make sure the inginition system is in good shape in the fall when we put the blade on the tractor. As long as everything is clean and tuned up she fires up every time. Personnally all I can see a 12 volt system does for you is hide problems and cover up poor maintenance. I would leave it at 6 volt.
