- Previous Branson 2400H. Looking for new
Well I finally decided on a tractor. After looking at a used john deere 4100 and 4115, a used kubota 2710, new massey 1526 and mahindra max 25 (just to feel it out to see if it was worth a 5 and 6 hour drive to get nice used ones), new tym 293, used bobcat ct225, used JD 2520 and a new branson 2400H I picked the branson. I wasn't a huge fan of the pedals on the kubota and the mahindra, and the TYM was already rusty, loader faded, stickers flaking and the operating area felt cramped, (I am 6'4"). I discounted the bobcat for being too heavy for my chores, and the JD 2520 as it had higher hours and really tired looking. I feel the branson has some nice weight for my chores, but still small enough to maneuver in my woods and general driving around the property, plus pretty good loader and 3pt lift capacities. I realize I won't be able to use as big or heavy of implements (brush cutters or finish mowers etc) as higher HP tractors, but the overall package I think will do me fine. I think I got a fair price, brand new for $12950 out the door. I will be picking it up next week. Now the implement search will take place.
Thanks for all of the advice leading up to my decision!
