Just like wire/cable etc., the battery cable clamps ARE NOT perfect (NO resistance) conductors but offer some, albeit relatively small, RESISTANCE just like the (NON perfect conductor) battery cables themselves. With such a short distance the voltage drop in the clamp will vary slight versus if they are lead or copper. I'm not familiar with pure copper battery cable clamps?????? but do see the brass appearing ones which Ive had good luck using.

In yearsssssssssss of battery use in farming and trucking and marine applications Ive had good luck when I clean the posts n connections n clamps n all terminations all shiny bright,,,,,,, use the felt looking anti corrosion washers under the clamps,,,,,,,,,,use the red anti corrosion spray,,,,,,,keep the battery top clean,,,,,,,avoid overcharging.

Of course, YES indeed copper is a good conductor and its your tractor and your choice so if you use some sort of "copper" clamps suitable as battery cable clamps ID SAY GO FOR IT.....

Best wishes n God Bless
