I have a Deere 2210 that I am thinking about buying a receiver hitch style salt spreader for my driveway. My question is how do I wire the plug? I don't know that much about 12 volt wiring. All I need is 12volt power and the ground on the plug, I don't need brakes, signals, etc. Can I just wire right to the battery with an inline fuse? How do I know amps? Is there a fused 12volt supply somewhere in the back already with constant power? I have tapped into a line for a rear work light, but it was powered by the headlight switch. What gauge wire?
You can wire the plug only with power and ground, no prob. The plugs are rated for 20-30 amps, IIRC, so size wire and fuses appropriately. Fused to battery is fine, but aux switch or ignition is better.
