I think it is fast recharges that cause sulfating. That might be a
likely result of letting a battery get discharged and recharging it
with a high amp charger, or by the tractor itself (I don't know what
output the tractor has). Best to recharge as slowly as feasible. But
it's not letting the battery get or sit discharged that is the actual
cause of sulfating.

shortened. Put in distilled water if it is low and not sealed. Clean the
inside of the tractor terminals and battery terminals. If it is new just
check voltage.
