battery for B5100E

[stearnser]

I just got a B5100E and I need to replace the battery (the one in it is 365 CCA and is dead). The owners manual doesn't say much about what type of CCA I should be looking for. I would rather not go to the Kubota dealer to get the battery unless I have to. Anybody got any advice or specifics (size, model numbers, etc). Thanks.

I have an Interstate battery in my B7100. They were the only ones around here that had the small size I needed with enough cranking amps for a diesel engine. My Kubota dealer only uses these as well. I use my tractor all year and with well below zero temps I could not get away with using a less powerfull battery.

Hope this helps

I went through the same thing 3 years a go with my B5100. I could not find the right type of battery at my local farm and ranch supply or at the auto parts store that carried Interstate batteries. I finely settled for a Duralast Gold battery I found at a second auto parts store. Other then what I paid for the battery I can not complaints about it.

If you still have not found a battery and would like to know what model I have let me know. I will take the hold down bracket off mine and get it for you.
