I have not taken the time to read past comments but coming from a fleet servicing background, so much time and efficiency return in a fleet of diesels could come from implementing trickle chargers mounted (hardwired) on each vehicle and near a plug every time parked. Some fleets have adopted a plan that any unit stationary and projected to be so for over 45 minutes would be plugged into said chargers to limit battery/starting issues. These practices lead to double or even triple the battery lifetime, from a starting point of just two years thereby increased to four or five years. Exponential in terms of lack of loss of downtime, frustration, yield in your case, obviously materials cost, labor, etc. Cheers!

I was the farm monkey on my grandparents' farm. They grew vegetables, mainly tomatoes, but they also had a small pecan grove of around 30 trees. I used to climb the trees and shake the limbs to get the pecans to drop. I guess I was around 9 years old when I started and did this until my early 20s and never fell. I did watch one of my uncles fall about 14 feet, land flat on his back and bounce when he hit the ground. Luckely, he didn't' get hurt but that was the last tree he climbed.

I always worked a job where i moved a lot, the cemetery i ran for many year's was great, because i met so many good people, and i did the burials, grounds, building maintenance, snow plowing, and repaired all the equipment.
