New Branson 25 series

[LouNY]

I don't know, the Australia manuals seem to have a software package for communication I would expect that some drivers and file readers would be required. From what I have been told my dealer doesn't have the software to read he removes replaces and sends the old one back. I have read were some people have had some luck with different manufactures with some of the can bus readers.

I'm interested in the new engine/tier 4 strategy as well. Looking at the site the 3725R uses an A2000N3 where the older 4520R uses an A2000N2, but the 4225R uses the A2000N2...so what's the difference between the N2 and N3 engine?
I'm glad to see they're still producing new products, I was a bit concerned after the TYM purchase...kinda waiting to see how that all shakes out with models/engines between Branson and TYM

Your engine numbers are Cummins. Kukje got licensed by Cummins to build their engines. Don't know when nor which ones. My 6530 was licensed to Komatsu heavy equipment. My 2400 was Kukje.

On TyM and Branson, when I bought my 2400 I went to a local dealer and saw one sitting on the lot.....one of the ones I had to wait for since they were sold out and had a new load coming in. I told the manager to work me up a price on this Branson and a couple of implements. While gone, I noticed the same size TYM sitting next to it.....25 hp as I recall. Took me all of 2 minutes to know I made the right choice. Don't know why TYM bought them. I speculate it was to get the Cummins licensed engine. Have no idea how the larger tractors compare. If the new large tractors are made like my 6530 it would be hard to beat.

Finally got a day when I was home and the light wasn't too bad. It's been raining a lot here. Pictures show the 25 series' left side adjustable 3pt link (I see I left the handle lock unlocked) and two factory remotes. I got a dealer added top and tilt. There's a larger fuel filter, dashboard that I think is a little different from the 20 series, and the moved PTO, cruise and 4-way flasher switches.

Question: In your second picture I see something orange on the right side. Is that the trans/hyd fill cap or is/does it have a second position control...depth setting control back there at the 3 pt. If so, PERFECT. Would be like my 6530.

For you folks thinking about a purchase, take a second look at the second picture. Notice the lift arm extensions (standard), the lift arm sway stabilizer arms, tube and slot with a locking pin. If that tractor has the position control I asked about, you will be hard pressed to find an easier tractor for one person to hook up implements.

If I may butt in and answer on Eric's behalf, it is the fill tube plug for the hydro.

Sorry, took me a while to even realize what you were asking about, you have sharp eyes sir. I have same tractor and had to study the pic to even see it.

Lol.

Yep its one of those question mark shaped fill plug/vent things. If the pic was from the other side you'd be able to see the whole thing.
A second position control lever back there would be useful. I walk forward a couple steps and reach over the fender now. It looks like there's room to make a simple rear position control linkage if one wanted it enough.

I'm loving the Pat's Easy Change system. That's super helpful too. They add about 3.5-4" to the length of the lower arms but that hasn't hurt me in any way with the attachments I have.

Thanks for the compliment sir but on my 6530, the UTF fill plug and the knob on the lever I mentioned are both orange. Could only see the color, not the outline of the object.
