Branson 6530 Specifications

[JMonkCO]

I'm very close to upgrading my Branson 2910i to a Branson 6530c (I've decided that the cab and *power* will make my life a little bit easier during the hard winters we have in Colorado).

Anyways, I'm a bit frustrated in trying to find detailed specs on the 6530 (lift capacity of the 3 point hitch, for example). I have found one site in Australia that has some info (http://www.rbmc.com.au/tractors/branson/30series/30series.PDF) but I have no clue as to how reliable or accurate this information is. Does anyone out there have this kind of info?

Also, can anyone comment on how easy (or hard) the Cummins 3.3 is to start in cold weather (0-20 degrees F)?

Many thanks,

John

I agree on the lack of info on Branson's site (complained about it in another thread). I'd contact your dealer, and see what he can find out.

The 6530 appears to be an awesome machine...As far as the Cummins B3.3 - It should be no more difficult to start than any other diesel. Plug it in when it's cold out, and be sure to use blended fuel in the winter, along with a anti-gel fuel treatment.

Good luck -
