That is true, a 6 volt battery will have more CCA's than an 8 volt, but thats where the misnomer comes into play. Its hard to compare different voltages of battery's to their actual power output. Watts is the real number we are after. And volts times amps equals watts. If you take a 6 volt battery and set it next to an 8 volt battery of the same physical size, technically they should have the same available wattage. The advantage you get with an 8 volt battery turning a 6 volt starter is that you have more voltage which will spin the starter faster. The flipside to this is that you will have less available cranking time with the 8 volt versus the 6 volt. But the theory is that if the 8 volt cant start the tractor instantly, the 6 volt will not no matter how long you crank it slowly.
