Stationary plow and dead battery (Got snow?)

I would go with the odyssey battery. Not much more than the other cheaper batteries. Look at batteries plus. They have a website. I believe the 925 is the one, like already stated.
Plowing with a winch is very hard on batteries, especially with short runs because the RPM's don't get high enough to charge what the winch already stole from the battery. I also agree with getting a battery tender and plug it in if you aren't riding it every couple days, especially when stored in a cold garage.
My luck with batteries in the past have not been good once they are charged down. It's much less headache to just get a new battery.
In my experience the gel type batteries last over twice as long as the liquid ones and aren't much more money. Main thing is to keep it charged.

Well my cuz came over today and used his battery charger/air compressor thingy (got to get me one of those) and charged both our bikes and let them run for a while. I won't claim if it will start up tomorrow or even how long it will LAST with all the winching but I am willing to put it to the test...8-)
