I have done the same with the JD AR. For the few times I start it a year 
it does not make sense to leave to dedicated six volt batteries in it 
all the time. I just borrow a 12 out of one of the other trucks, grain 
auger , or anything that has an easily removable battery. And chances 
are I won't even tighten the cable bolts. Just brush clean and push them 
down good and tight by hand so they are easy to pull off when I take the 
battery out. I sure appreciate those batteries with the built in 
carrying handle for that situation as there is no room to get my hands 
down beside the battery to lift it.
