lights left on -> dead battery

[WinterDeere]

I park my tractor in a shed with a sealed concrete floor, where any leak is going to be blatantly obvious, so I'll admit I get a bit lax about checking fluids. I'll check crankcase oil each Saturday morning, as I'm mostly a weekend warrior, but hydro oil might get checked only once per month, and coolant almost never.

I park my loader tractor like this, with the bucket cutting edge down, mostly because the exhaust misses the lower side of the loader arm, if I leave it flat on the ground then I get the black smudge of exhaust smudge ... The headlights will shine on the loader cross member!

The Kubota in the background has a much more difficult light switch to "accidentally" turn on, compared to the Massey ...

If you have LED headlights, maybe a battery tender would keep up?

lol... I only turn my compressor off if I'm going out of town for a week or more.

You guys are lucky to have heated barns and leave compressors on!

My compressors stay off in my unheated barn until I need it - usually only in the warmer months.

My barn is only heated in the summer, when it's not needed!
