Lead-Acid batteries experience a phenomena called "self discharge" meaning over time, they lose their charge just due to internal chemistry. When storing a machine for an extended period of time it is best to remove the battery and put it on a "trickle charger" or "battery maintainer," or to...

FWIW, From the OP's little profile under his avatar in the sidebar next to his posts, his tractor is a Kioti DK6010SE HSA, which apparently (just ask google...) weighs on the order of 4500 to 5000 pounds...
