    Portable jump starters ?

    How many of y’all carry one or use one ? I’m looking to pick one up to keep around . Would be using it on a 45 hp tractor and maybe my power stroke if needed. What brand and size do y’all recommend?

    I bought one that was recommended on here. Struck out twice with it. I’ll stick to cables.

      I carry one I got off Amazon. I'd have to look at the amps, I think it's a 1250. I've used it dozens of times on everything from tractors to my boat. It was $79. It holds a charge for months. I've had good results from it. Amazon no longer offers the one I have. The brand is Space Key.

        Mine lives in my truck and I’ve used it a bunch. Same with my battery powered tire inflator. Check out project farm on YouTube he has pretty much reviewed them all.

          I have a noco. I believe it’s the 3000a. I have used it on everything from my boat to my diesel pickup.

            Project farm on you tube does a good review of many jump starters. The guy is a genius.

                The vast majority of them are junk. I finally bit the bullet and got one that has a real battery inside it -- Clore Jump n Carry. It has no problem jumping an F150 from a dead battery as well as a 47hp kubota:

                    I was recently in a situation with my tractor that I couldn’t not get to it to jump it off . Had to drag a battery out to it and swap it out to get it back to the house . Just wanting something for when I can’t access it easily.

                      Same here. They hold a charge forever. Haven’t let me down yet. Cables don’t do a bit of good when you are stuck somewhere by yourself.

                          I get what your saying and wished mine worked better. I couldn’t jump my Polaris ranger. Maybe I got a dud

                            I bought a noco a couple of years ago. It worked great the first year and I used it several times with no problem. The last few times I've tried to use it it hasn't worked nearly as well. I'm not sure if sitting in the heat eventually kills the battery or if it's just not holding a charge anymore. I'll probably buy another one though because they are so much more convenient than cables and you can help yourself out of bind.

                              I’ve got a couple Nocos. I’ve used them a ton around the lease. Jumped my 17’ 6.7 Powerstroke a couple times, and my Can Am many a times as well as my work truck. It’ll jump my truck once per charge. It’ll jump my can am 4-5 times per charge. Worth every penny. The Noco Boost XL50 is what I have.
