Tym said they bought out Branson.

They bought Branson's parent company Kukje. Kukje is still making and selling Branson tractors with Cummins engines. Branson's parent company makes A series engines for Cummins under a 2002 partnership agreement. Tym may have bought Kukje for the the engines but they're probably not in Tyms yet. Since Branson's a bigger brand than Tym in the US it seems unlikely that Tym would kill the Branson line.

Not pointing at the OP. Just a general perception of TBN members thinking. Hypothetical situation......

A used "xyz" brand tractor like I want is $16,000. I can buy a new one just like it for $20,000. Why would I spend $16,000 on a used one when I can get a new one for $20,000???

Answer: Because you are spending 80% of the money required to buy new!!!! Saving 20% for a tractor with low hours!!! No brainer to me.

I think it generally comes down to financing availability. Manufacturers know that. Thus they offer "0% financing". They make their money on the inflated new price. Pretty good game they are playing!!!! :)

Back on track. Be aware of engine HP versus PTO HP. Some tractors have a huge spread between the two. Especially HST tractors. My Brother had an L3240 Kubota HST. All it did was aggravate me when trying to run a 6' cutter on hilly terrain.

I'm with Gary on the R1s. I use the snot out of my tractors in timber terrain. I ruined a front R1 on my Kubota recently. I can't say if I'd had R4s that they would have survived any better. Traction is no comparison. My previous tractor had R4s. Worthless in timber when wet/muddy.

Good luck with your choices and keep us posted!!!

50+ HP and a utility instead of a compact. Longer wheel base and wider width are nice when moving heavy loads. I used the farmowners 45hp New Holland compact at a sale I did in April and it was so much shorter and skinnier. It seemed way more inclined to tip with a load on. Just my 2 cents worth

Yep, if you can step up to a utility, no comparison!!

Appreciate all the feedback. Yes I agree if I can find a low hour used utility 45+ that would be ideal. Patience is not a quality I possess so let's see what happens. Any leads on a tractor please post.

And any one of those would be a good choice!!!

Decisions, decisions...... ;)

I recently purchased a NX4510 HST and have had no issues with it. No steep and hilly terrain here. I did get the tires filled because it was thrown into the package deal. Depending on your location I would call or email Larry Stovesand Equipment in TN. Communication was some of the best I have ever received.

Some good tractors there at tractor house, but a few with high hours and I do need a hydro drive since others will be using it. If i go used it has to be worth it. Ck3510, 4010, or tym 394 hat with fell and filled tires all under 20k
