hmm..if the tractor's a 'keeper', go waterproof, unless the cost is much higher. Regular connectors with an inch of heatshrink will be close to waterproof...
I prefer to 'tin' the wire THEN crimp then solder wire to crimp then heat shrink. Tinning of the wire makes all the strands into one and fills the voids between them, greatly reducing corrosion ( green copper...). soldering the wire to the connector seals and helps secure. heat shrink helps seal the wire sheath to the connector.
if you've ever rewired a trailer you know about 'water wicking' up the wires,inches maye feet...it corrodes the copper strands, turning them black or green...not allowing power through and failing.
