3045 Century
Great Value
Model Year: 1994

Yanmar engine is tough to beat. Have some light issues, will see how difficult that is to fix. My main issue so far is getting parts/service. Branson dealers in my area aren't the biggest of help probably due to the fact they don't see many of these anymore.

Pros: Value.
Cons: Service.

3045 Century
Unable to Get Parts
Model Year: 0

Have had many leads as to where we could get parts but to no avail. I even e-mailed a specific person at Branson and she never responded. If you want to be able to repair your tractor this is not the one for you. Parts are hard to come by.

Pros: Work horse.
Cons: Availability of parts.

3045 Century
Very good tractor
Model Year: 2005

I bought this tractor back in 2005. I have put this tractor through torture many times over. It is tough.

Pros: Heavy durable frame, very good Yanmar engine, made with strong metal.
Cons: None

3045 Century
Century 3040 4wd tractor
Model Year: 2003

The first thing I noticed when I first saw this tractor was how heavy the frame and axle housing was. I live in a very rocky high desert foothill area. I was looking for a compact tractor which had the capacity to dig out juniper tree roots. This tractor has done all that I have asked of it. I have had it for 7 years and the only repairs that I have had to do is replace the plastic power steering reservoir and the front loader hydraulic hoses.

Pros: Very sturdy, easy to operate, & holds up well to heavy work.
Cons: Plastic power steering oil tank & the engine oil dipstick is hard to get to with front loader attached.
