I love it when Autozone makes you tell them what you are installing it in. 
Since they don't have farm equipment as an option, I come up with a rather 
impressive and diverse fleet of automobiles!

There is a national battery association that passed some rules regarding 
warrantees.  Supposedly, if a battery is installed in a tractor, riding 
mower, etc, the warrantee is automatically cut to just one year regardless 
of what is printed on the side of the battery.  But you just put your finger 
on the problem, Dave.  It's just not very enforceable.
