There's really nothing wrong with the 24-Volt system OR the 24-Volt generator, UNLESS you have a lot of 12-Volt (-) ground accesories you need to operate. The 24-Volt generator only puts out about 1/2 the Amps that a 12-Volt generator does, but taking into account it's at 24-Volts, the generator actually DOES replenish the batteries after a start as quickly as a 12-Volt generator of twice the Amps output does on a 12-Volt system. I have a 24-Volt 4020, and I gathered up all the parts I needed to change it to 12-Volts. I repair tractors and alternators. After seeing some of the messes people create for themselves converting to 12-Volts, I realized the 24-Volt system isn't so bad, after all, and didn't convert mine to 12-Volts. Get a GOOD pair of 12-Volt batteries. Get two 12-Volt "float" battery maintainers... about $15.00 each @ Waldo World. Connect one to each battery, matching the maintainer's polarity to that of each battery. When the tractor won't be used for a while, plug in BOTH battery maintainers. If properly connected to the batteries, EACH will keep it's battery fully charged, and they will NOT interfere with each other. Problem solved, for less than $50.00. Email me with any questions.
