24v heavy equipment is kind of a a PITA, in reality. For instance, my father always ran Timberjack and Clark logging equipment, in part because they were 12V. One common problem is that you've got a dead battery in your piece of equipment. With a 12V system, you can just jumpstart your skidder/dozer/whatever using your pickup and a set of cables. If the equipment is 24V, you have to use two pickups in series, which is a lot more difficult.
