2019 NH Workmaster 75 Battery Group Size?

[jma5000]

Howdy everyone,
I'm new to the forum but it looks like a good resource for the future. I help my uncle out on our family's hobby farm. We have a small herd of milking shorthorns located in Central NY. Last year we purchased a second hand 2019 NH Workmaster 75 with less than 1000 hours on it. The battery in the tractor is definitely not original since it is much smaller than the battery tray. It works hard cranking over on start up and with the colder weather we are having some problems. Does anyone know what the original battery group size is? I have been unable to find it in the manual and I'm getting conflicting answers from google. Thanks!

Looks like a group 49...New Holland #F885DSW BATTERY

You can also measure the space available, note the terminal orientation, and buy a battery based upon a BCI battery size chart.

Thank you both for the replies! I am surprised I didn't find that on Messick's! I'll keep the BCI chart in mind for future reference. Thanks again!

...and purchase the largest size battery that will fit in the tray with the highest CCA rating.

additionally, buy it from a retailer who turns over their inventory regularly as well.

Central NY gets pretty cold. In addition to what has already been said go heavy on the CCAs.
