Default Solar battery chargers/maintainers

A zillion out there; just wondering anybody have favorites and/or
recommendatons for specifics?

Multiple in same location would be nice; both mowers park side-by-side
as well as old truck and the manlift in the shed together...others
more-or-less individually parked.

And, the old 4440 uses two 6-V in series instead of 12V so a 6V output
would be nice there...

With over a dozen, it's a pain keeping up w/ all...

To someone who started with a Farmall B, the 4440 cannot be considered old :-)

(the 4440 is pretty desirable even now and has held its value well).

Just put up a couple decent size panels with an inverter, and you can
use the proper chargers for each device.

I have one of these for my boat, one for my lawn tractor and one for
my wife's car that she never drives. They seem to work as advertised.
The LED indicator is handy. If you plug the lighter plug in with the
collector unplugged it says the lighter plug is working and with the
lighter plug out and the cable hooked to the collector, you know the
collector is working.

Indeed...other than it doesn't have hydroshift it makes ideal-sized
loader tractor or for other light-duty jobs its now bigger brothers take
care of. This one still has 5000 original hours altho the cab interior
needs completely redone.

First I was old enough to handle and that I remember using regularly
were M's. Grandpa had several little Cat 22's for row crop work back in
20s-30s; one of those was still around until Dad sold it to be fully
restored while at school. The old Twin City 30-20 was still around and
ran, but was only an emergency by then...

Overall, that might be no more expensive...thanks for the thought.

....

The worst problem with it isn't it, per se, but that have the old 148
loader instead of 158 that didn't come along until several years later.

Loading top row of large rounds on semi over the tractor wheels is a
real stretch...

Our neighbor had an M, we used it to run the threshing machine (through
the 1970's, until my grandfather quit planting oats). The Super C and
the B pulled the wagons with the bundles of grain to the thresher. The
B had the cultivator attachment and was used as such.

Grandpa also had a couple Minneapolis Moline row croppers. Hand clutch;
don't remember the model numbers.

Other Grandpa had mostly Massey Fergusons, and a ford 8n.

Only green was a hay baler.

Nowadays, just a small Kubota and a green lawn tractor and the auctions
on RFD :-)

A John Deere B?

The ones I remember were something like Z, U, and so on.
