Four batteries were an option especially for northern areas. I don't remember if it's my 7050 or my brother's 7030 but one only has only one swing out battery tray. I use just two batteries anyhow and today's batteries, I'm guessing, are so much better that I don't think I would ever need four. I haven't needed more than two batteries since I've owned the tractor anyway.

Back in that time, even D-21's, 210's and 220's had the four battery option, as the batteries were only about 500 CCA's each. By the time the 8000 series came along, batteries had gotten up to nearly 1000 CCA's, so two batts were enough most of the time.

I've got room for 4 batteries on my 7045. It had 4 in it when I bought it. Currently has 3 in it. If I recall correctly, the 4 were 550 cca, the 3 are each 800? So with these 3, I actually have 200 more cca than before. Made up all new cables, spins over nicely. Takes a lot to move 426 cold cubes of beast!

Just think, with 4 batteries, you'll always have one bad one somewhere lol!

Hey guys with a few more years on earth then me. I was born in ‘80. My wd45 was bought new in yale at a dealership in the middle of town they maybe sold 10 tractors a year and where open in the early 70s would any of these little dealships like “ bobs garage “ have sold any of those big 7000s series tractors back then. That’s what I missed when I bought my new John Deere is I wanted to go to a little dealership and buy it like in the old days but around here there’s only a few mega john deer dealerships that bought up all the little ones.

I bought my 7030 from small dealer, on a good year sell maybe 3 or 4 tractors and one combine. He had one really good year at the end of 200 production, sold all he could get, some without cabs and even one without three point. Even at that I think he sold 6 or 7.
