Wow, the OEM battery in my NH1920 is still going strong after 10 years!
You are right, however, regarding typical battery life. I wish my boat batteries would last as long.

Yeah, I've been supporting the dealer and the manufacturer rather well, I think.
But, on a more serious note, I think that proper battery maintenance does pay off (not that I'm the best example by any means).

Here we go. But when mine died I bought the biggest one Wal Mart had,with the terminals in the right spot and sure it would fit. It even had the side terminals so i could add on to it for a booster cable plug.
Its been about 9 years now.Just don't get anything rated smaller.
My dealer sold out, and I don't care to help pay for the wall to wall carpet they have,
your going to get all kinds of responses here..

Costco is pretty good for car batteries - your tractor battery may be similar enough to a car size to work.

look for industrial/commercial/AG -- they're designed to survive the stresses generated by no suspension and/or loader work.
I was recently battery shopping and found that a group 31 battery would fit and spec out good enough to meet owners manual recommendations. (12V 110 AH, 850 CCA)
Batteries Plus had a good selection of different types - the group 31 was $95.
Big O Tires wanted 140 for an Interstate Brand.
Sam's club was asking $65 for an Energizer.
TSC was in the $100 range as well.
