Lee, the voltage at the coils input should obviously be whatever the coils rated voltage is, like 6 volts on a 6 volt coil and 12 on a 12 WELL DUH.
NOTE a full true 12 volt coil may be labeled "12 volts" or "12 volts NOT for use with external ballast resistor" HOWEVER a coil labeled "12 volts requires external ballast resistor" is in reality a 6 volt coil and requires the ballast (if on a 12 volt tractor) just like it says it does.
Sooooo on a 12 volt tractor you can EITHER use a full true 12 volt coil ORRRRRRRR a 6 volt coil PLUS a series voltage dropping (12 to 6) ballast resistor.
Again, on a 12 volt tractor, if its a true 12 volt coil DO NOT use any ballast, but if its a 6 volt coil, use one.
NOTE if you say you just switched a tractor from 6 to 12 volts and are still gonna use the old 6 volt coil, THE PEOPLE WHO TOLD YOU TO USE A RESISTOR ARE INDEED CORRECT. Unless you also switch to a 12 volt coil that is.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
