Battery

Where is a good place to buy a good battery for my Kubota L3940?

The difficulty of your request - some of the places I know may not be in Indiana. I've had good results from - - Interstate, Batteries Plus Bulbs, Battery Systems, Inc.

Many will say Walmart, Lowes or Home Depot - I've never purchased a battery there.

Walmart...Walmart...Walmart
Best bang for the buck, and they will honor the warranty without any hassle!
My experience with Interstate was bad! They played games with the warranty.
HD and Lowe's often seem to have batteries that have been on the shelf for months.
Batteries need to be fresh if possible.

East Penn/Deka found at NAPA or Parts Plus and others are very good.

Good Luck!

Friends of mine use thousands of batteries a year. It is quite the racket! Sometimes I can get a cheaper battery as Mr. Nobody from let's say Interstate than I can buy from my friends at cost.

Everybody says their batteries are the best!

Just a hint. Weight, which no one talks about, says a lot about a battery.

I needed batteries for my electric gator. I researched it, chose Tojans, and made numerous calls to get the best price.

A good battery, even if you pay too much, is a good investment, amortised over the life of the battery.

I use an independent battery supplier in my area.

They get "fresh" batteries and/or make them on demand for customers.

Place I go to is Yorkville Battery...

I buy tractor batteries at Sam's Club and get the correct size with the largest CCA I can get. I always get a sealed battery and also have a couple AGM Optima batteries from there. Charge them in the fall and I get 10 to 12 or more years out of them. It works for me and never a problem.

There was a problem with a truck battery I bought at Sam's Club and I went to buy a new one with the old one as a trade in. Turns out it was an extended warranty version and they just gave me a new one, no problem. That made my day.

Costco carries the same batteries as the WalMart Everstart Max (Johnson Controls) for quite a bit less. Same warranty, three year free replacement and no prorate.

That is good to know!
There is one other factor: Costco is not always conveniently located.
Walmart is...everywhere!!!
