Other tractor models without a convenience power outlet

Order convenience outlet kit AE50549 from your John Deere dealer. Kit consists of 12 gauge wires and a circuit breaker. When installing kit, attach the power and ground wires directly to the battery terminal clamp bolts, only.

IMPORTANT: If equipped with BaleTrak™ Pro , monitor-controller is polarity sensitive. The red lead from the monitor-controller power input MUST be installed on the positive (+) side of a 12 volt system. Failure to do so will cause monitor-controller to not function.
