There is nothing more cost-effective than an old-fashioned FLA (flooded lead acid battery). The AGM batteries have one advantage - they don't have free liquid - so they can be tipped over, air-shipped, etc. That small advantage does not offset the high price, and sometimes - short life.
If you can fit a car/truck battery into your tractor - you're better off than with a commercial/ag. battery because you get a much better warranty.

A true, cost-effective deep cycle is something like the Trojan T-105 - which many companies now copy and compare themselves to.
