Can someone recommend a suitable battery size for my M600 Bobcat, it has a twin cylinder Petter Diesel engine (2.3L?) – An idea of AH rating would be great! Thanks, Des
 
Well I went for an 80Ah battery which spins the engine over easily!
Glad it works.
I have found that pretty much any automotive battery will start a skid steer, there is a high draw at startup and the glow just before startup (if a diesel). After that, the charging system takes over.
