Well, my 3620 is on a major back order with no known arrival time. So I went to the dealership and got my deposit back. I found a dealer about 60 miles away and bought a new 4820 right off the lot with free delivery and all. Has rear hydraulic hook ups already installed. I did have to give another 1000 over what the 3620 would have been. I’m happy so far. View attachment 724487
I noticed on the loader frame a sticker referring to a "lifetime powertrain warranty" which I never saw on any new Branson tractor I looked at. I thought when I looked at them they only had a 6 year powertrain warranty. Tractor are basically a powertrain so that sounds like a good deal. Especially seeing the lack of electronics on the Branson line. There's also a "designed by Cummins" sticker but I've got to believe this engine design is fairly old - not a bad thing. I still like the color and look of the Branson - even over my baby blue LS. Congratulations and enjoy.

Hey that's a good looking tractor!

I'd say that extra $1000 you gave is going to be the best grand you ever spent. 12 more hp will make a big difference on pto powered attachments.

It does look pretty when clean, now the fun is getting it dirty. Lets see some "seat time" pics.

Oh, and I would take some air out of those back tires, they look a bit too over inflated to me.

Dannnnnnng! ! ! Look at that EASY fill fuel tank on the driver side, beside the step. Now THAT is some engineering compared to my Kubota. (y)(y)(y)
Great Lookin’ Machine!
The older 20 series, 45 series, and my 25 series all have their fuel tanks there. I think the new 15 series has it on the back? Don't recall for sure.

It is nice to be able to stand on the ground next to the tractor and just fill the fuel from a can held at waist level.

Knowing what I know now I'd have spent multiples of $1000 to get 12hp more. I could use that for the PTO chipper. For everything else I do 37hp is enough.

Dang those are big tires!

The engine if im not mistaken, was designed and built by Cummins and contracted to supply engines to Kukje manufacturing. As for the warranty, that is offered by the dealership. Both dealers I worked with had lifetime powertrain warranties.

Man, that thing looks stout. Nice that it already has dual rear remotes. I’ve noticed that a number of brands are placing the ROPS hinge down low so the tractors will fit inside a standard 7ft garage door. Nice touch

Congrats and good luck with the new machine!!

That 4820 is a nice looking tractor.
Are the rear tires as close to the fenders as it looks in the picture?
From all the green visible outside you may not have to worry about chains for snow and ice.

There’s about 2” clearance between fenders and tires. I live close to destin Florida. So I don’t think (hopefully) I’ll need snow chains. 😅
