You mention a few things worth repeating.
These compact utility tractors are not bulldozers and trying to use them as one is a common mistake made by newer tractor owners.
That said whether you are measuring by price or by horsepower, the Branson is the heaviest tractor by a wide margin that you can buy.
The John Deere 3038E (36 horsepower) weighs 2175 lbs. The entire tractor is made by Yanmar.
The Kubota B3350SU (33 horsepower) weighs 1874 lbs.
My 3520H (35 horsepower) weighs 4053 lbs.
That's a pretty huge difference when you're trying to get work done. The adage is to buy the most tractor your money can buy and they're talking about weight (tractor=traction and ballast) not horsepower.
The work I do on my property simply couldn't be done with the smaller and more expensive green and orange machines.
