    wow so cheap!

    Why did you not go for the 175-4390 and 1000CCA? what was the price? i assume that you will use the 175 for your cranking battery?

    The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .

    Ah good question, it wasn't raised as an option during the discussion - maybe not in stock. Now don't get me regretting my decision. Would love to use the 175 as the cranker but to large, it suits a grader.
