I have had good luck with using the small "battery maintainers" to keep the batteries up over long periods of nonuse. If there is electricity to the building where the tractors are stored I don't take the batteries out of the tractors, but if there is no electricity I remove the batteries to a building where I can keep them charged. The maintainers are often available from Harbor Tools for under $10. A better grade from local Fleet Farm / Farm & Fleet for about $17. Other models are more. I have had 2 tractors on one meter for over 6 months and they only used 1 kw of electricity - about 8¢ around here.
