Doug; You are wright about that. On farm operations where spike loads from large electric motors etc. are a problem and batteries are certainly a big issue. Residential home use is easier to address for sure. At present, you a farmer should be grid tied with a net meter. Then the grid is your battery storage system, and you push back excess in peak production events and consume in low production periods, thus your net consumption is less. Don't be fooled by the idea that you can make big money if you produce more than you consume because the utilities pay far less than they charge and only issue checks on a semi or anual baisis. The ideal situation is to size your Hybrid wind/solar and/or bio digestor system to meet your needs with no more than 110% of your requirments. Being a farmer you have some very good financial assistance programs from the USDA, your state and sometimes local utilities, and tax credits from the IRS. These are well worth looking into, if you have a good location for solar/wind, or lots of poo to fuel a digestor to make Methane to power a generator, which it turn you can pull the heat off the engine to make hot water for a dairy operation or heat your shop.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
