I have a DieHard that is 11 years old, and still going. I had a previous DieHard (deep cycle) that lasted over 9 years.
The "Traveler" (TSC) 6v in my SuperA is date coded at May of '06 - it was abused badly by the previous owner who didn't have a working regulator on it, it spent most of 2 years sitting in an unheated shed, and it was severely discharged most of the time it was in use. I have the reg set to charge to 7.5 volts, and it cranks over even at 10*F
I bought a CT (pre-TSC) deep cycle (made by Exide), put it side by side with a Mal-Wart (made by Johnson Controls) of the same type and running the same load, charged from the same charger; the Exide lasted over 5 years, while the JC/W-M began to fail at 3 years. The Exide was about $12 more to start with.
Deere? I wouldn't know. If they still are selling top quality batteries, I would suspect they cost far more than the same top quality batteries sold elsewhere.
As already noted, the best warrantee is likely your best guarantee of a good battery, regardless of the green you spend.

I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
