I have a 3 cylinder 179ci diesel 50HP @ PTO, tractor that I am thinking about using a 900 amp
Optima battery. Is this a big enough battery for this engine, the tractor sometimes will set for 2 or 3 months without being started ? Any opinions on using Optima batteries in tractors.

Darrell-Over the past 18 months, I have used 4 or 5 of these in vehicles with the situation you described and it resolved the problem. I have had 100% good results to date. I even put one in my mom's car because she dosen't drive much anymore and her car sits for a month or so between starts and she was always stressing about this. I put a Optima in and she no longer has a problem. Now when I replace a battery in a car,truck or tractor, it's an Optima.

i personally don't have any experience with optima batteries, but you said your tractor sets long times. I would suggest you get a main switch, it would prevent any current leaks, and with a healty new battery i'm sure it will start even after a long time of setting.
