Auto battery or deep cycle?

[stevem5215]

I too buy my batteries at Wal Wart. They actually are very fresh (which is a highly recommended item from CR) In the 2003 Farm Pro the original went to the graveyard in a short 3 years. So in 2006 I bought a regular type automotive battery. it lasted 3 years and was dead as a doornail. In 2009 I bought a Wally world Marine battery. It made it 9 years till this summer. Dead as a doornail and wouldn't take a charge or trickle anymore (used a smart trickle charger for years now). So, got another one of those marine ones. This time the tractor will be long gone before it's replaced again. So, there's my Marine battery experience. A small sample but one none-the-less.
