I have to replace a replacement battery. My tractor, bought used, doesn't have the OEM battery, so I don't know what original was. Not the group size, nor the type. TractorData says it needs 582 CCA minimum. I've measured it and the group 35 seems the closest.
I am a casual user. I'll be on the tractor three days in a row, then not again for three weeks. If figure that kind of use begs a deep cycle. Or a car battery with a good maintainer. But I'd like to hear your opinion, or experience. Batteries ain't cheap these days. $230 for an Optima is a pretty good bit to swallow. At the same time, I'm not about to waste 43 bucks for a Walmart cheapie.
What do you think?
There are good and bad batteries from Wally Whyrled.
Do your research.
