Hi Branson owners, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this thread that I just posted in the Buying forum. It's about a used 4720h. Thanks!

Hi, I drove to check out a Branson 4720h that has just a couple hundred hours on it. I was ready to fall in love, but I was surprised at how beat up it looks. However, I don't know if I'm being too picky, since I haven't shopped for used tractors before. My current tractor (JD 5105) came with...

I'm going to check out the Branson tractor tomorrow morning. Here's a checklist that I've put together from different sources on the Internet. Any thoughts or comments on my list? Thanks.

Hi, I am considering a 2014 G3033H with just a few hundred hours on it. From these forums, it looks like $16,000 would have been a good price when it was purchased new. What would be a good price for it now, assuming that it's in great condition? (I also posted some non-price questions in...

Hi, I'm considering buying a 2014 LS G3033H with low hours. I've searched the forums and online, and I still have some questions: 1. Does it have a Tier 4 compliant engine? 2. Are there any known issues that I should check for, such as the jerky 3-pt on Kubota L series? 3. Can it handle a 6'...

I'm considering buying a recent model Branson 4720H with just a few hundred hours on it. 1. Is there anything in particular about this model that I should check or ask about before buying (such as the jerky 3 point hitch on the Kubota L series)? 2. Is $15,000 a fair price with a FEL? 3. Can...

Hi, I've searched the forum (great info!), and I don't find any indication of a Chinese tractor that currently has an HST. Can somebody please confirm or correct that? Thanks.

Hi, I inherited an old John Deere 5105 when we bought a house and acreage a year ago. I've read the manual and used it several times to bush hog and drag logs. I'm not as familiar with it as I'd like to be, though. Recently I noticed what appeared to be exhaust coming out of an open-ended hose...

Hi, I got a 10 year old John Deere 5105 when we bought a house in January. I've read the manual, done a few maintenance checks, and used it about 15 hours to bush hog a hilly field. This evening I had my first problem. I had bush-hogged for an hour, and it had started raining for a few minutes...
