Semi Truck Battery Starts Deere 3010 Gas Tractor

Semi Truck Battery Starts Deere 3010 Gas Tractor TRACTORS Miscellaneous 33-6-36 Lyle Moege, Hurley, S. Dak.: "For years I had trouble starting my Deere 3010 gas tractor. Then on the recommendation of someone at our local NAPA store I installed a new semi truck battery. It has a tremendous 900 amps of cold cranking power and solved the problem immediately. "It was a straight swap-out û a 12-volt battery for a 12-volt battery. However, the semi truck battery is much bigger and weighs a ton. To handle the weight I had to build an angle iron support bracket. In the past, starting the tractor was always a crapshoot and I often ended up using jumper cables. It didn't matter if the weather was cold or not. "I paid only $20 to $30 more for the semi truck battery than I would have for a Deere replacement battery. It was the best money I ever spent on this tractor."
