For some reason my backhoe draws the battery down over a few days, and then other times not at all. I was thinking about a inline disconnect. I saw one at NAPA but I didn't like the looks of it. Any ideas?

I second Meathookers recommendation.

The surface mount battery switches from Blue Sea are super high quality and marine rated/sealed.

Just the on/off with knob is fine and inexpensive...but super high quality and compact.
You will need a flat surface to securely mount it to.
Looks like you could bolt a tab off the loader-mount for that.

I also concur with blue sea system manual battery switches. Its all I use on my RV with 3 individually switched battery banks charged by my roof mounted solar.

Other smaller switches failed from vibration soon after install.
