The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

I was thinking it could pick up a wire lead out of the 7 pin plug on back of tractor and power a battery charger.
Inverters are great. Have one in the Ram and it’s surprisingly powerful.

Carefully check the current capacity of the power coming from the tractor. An inverter can draw a lot of current really fast. But something small like 100-200W might be OK.

We used an inverter in the van when traveling with the kids. Rather than pay for expensive entertainment system, we used it to plug in a 13" tv/vcr and they could watch approved shows. It also kept the screen from bothering other drivers.

I don’t think I’ll ever pursue a charger in a tool box. Probably just a sturdy plastic storage box for the blower and all the junk I take along with me in tractor cab. I really dislike clutter and loose objects in cab. I have dewalt charger that plugs into cig lighter socket. That could probably be run from tractor into a plastic tool box, too. Maybe a project for next winter.
