B2910 Replacement Battery Recommendations

[Don_Curley]

My original battery is about ready to bite the dust, however, after almost 11 years of fairly severe service, I really can't complain.

Anyway, instead of just going with a standard flooded cell lead acid battery replacement, I was thinking of stepping up to an AGM type (which I have been switching to in my vehicles and a large generator). As long as I go with the right group number with the minimum or better CCA rating, does anyone see any issue with an AGM type battery in a Kubota B2910 tractor application?

Should work just fine. Not a bad idea either!
Can't believe that battery lasted that long. I got 5 years out of mine.

I am not sure how long the OEM batteries will last. Mine has been in tractor since I bought it in 2000. Thinking it should be replaced. With that kind of service would like to put same battery back in. But dealer is selling a Kubota battery that is not the same as the original.

FWIW, mt oem battery lasted five yours.... which I figure is average. I replaced mine with an Interstate brand battery which I do NOT recommend. At the two year mark, the interste is nearly as weak as the OEM was when it was replaced. I'd actually like to put in a larger battery..... but it is really tight in front of the radiator, not sure I'll be able to get a bigger battery in there.

I still have the 2003 original and it's still crankin'! (betcha it dies today)

While I would really like to go AGM, I am more concerned with the replacement battery dimensions and that it can still be appropriately secured with the OEM battery hold-down. Still researching this, but I may have to stick to something more conventional.
