Yeah i used a 700 CCA battery from my truck till it finally died - tractors turned over super easy. Been using a 600 CCA battery for a while as well.

The onan GT needed the extra juice, for the electric deck clutch and electric deck lift.

My Ford LGT100 has a battery box built for a group 24 ( automotive sized) battery.

Its running a '77 Kohler cast iron 10 horse. with just the electric clutch. Thats what was nin it when I got it. nSerious tracotrs need serious batteries.

Thanks for the suggestions, I was thinking of trying to batteries in parallel but I have to get another set of cables. I'll try the parallel and the car battery and see if it will stop being a b*tch lol.
