They are great for jumping the occasional tractor. Engines spin over way faster compared to the lighter gauge stuff.


If you start getting into $70- $100 bucks, you might be better off buying a jump starter pack. I carry a NOCO GB150 in my service truck. Money well spent, but they even have some good ones for a lot less.

Jump starter review and testing


The other benefit of a jump pack is you don't have to wrestle with getting the jump vehicles lined up for the cables to reach. Jumping a car on the side of the highway or parking lot, tractor in the barn or boat at the boat ramp are all easy with a jump pack. Plus you have a backup power supply and/or light during an emergency. I actually used mine during our TX power outage to charge cell phones.
