I finally decided to make a stop for my 3 pt on 3515ch. Now, it is a bit rough as the only tools I had were hacksaw, file and drill. I used 1/8" x 1-1/2" aluminum bar stock. I stacked the base pieces together and created a moveable stop piece. The base pieces are ~ 6-1/2" long. I have used to...

That is a good point as well

Thanks guys; but wait why does it have a DOC when that is not required since it is under 26 hp? So, are people buying the 2515 under the assumption there is no emissions? Asteral, you think they are trying to streamline parts, have to wonder if new muffler for 2515 is same for say the 3515. That...

I know some have swapped out the tier 4 muffler setup for a I think a Stanley muffler. Well, I thought I would see what a 2515 muffler would cost as an alternative to this approach on a 3515 for a what if scenario.... Well that was a short lived thought as the muffler for 2515 is ~$1,200! Does...

Interesting the replies here and honestly I posted this more as a public service announcement. Those who wish to criticize no problem go for it since they are not high on my priority. It is funny though how those who want be critical state they don't post similar situations so others might learn...

Use a 55 gallon drum with hand pump in the drum. It also has an inline fuel filter. I built a small enclosure for the drum and I have a lift strap on the drum and use the loader to put it in the truck when need to get fuel.

ptsg, no worries and agree not a fan of that style, so went with the older style and modified it. I can't believe how thin those new style are, probably cheaper to manufacturer. Branson Bob, sorry the battery is the original.

Branson Bob, the tractor is 2019 and purchased new. Uh, 5030, yes I own up to ignoring the terminals and they are fixed properly now; but don't not a fan of the attitude.

Thought I would post this as an FYI to check battery terminals. I had an issue when i turned on tractor the tach and temp needles started bouncing around and the hour meter went dead. It was a bad ground and found both battery terminals being eaten through. I honestly ignored them when checking...

Yes, easy to get off, dealer came out to swap out the HVAC unit (bad evaporator) sensor. We just took bolts out and it comes off easy. I have a 3515CH, picture is viewed from driver side.

Sorry about spelling; but yes those are the sleeves that when tightened hold the pulleys on the shaft. Now, if the belts are loose that is the bolt on top; 1st have to loosen the 4 bolts that anchor the top pulley to the mower.

I have had a Betstco medium duty 175 for about 2 years. Initially, they shipped the unit with a fill plug vs. a vent plug. I would agree the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. As an example they show in 2 places the gearbox takes either 1 qt or 3 qt of oil; neither of which is right since...

We have garden space that is fenced with 4'-5' high fencing and I use my Branson 3515ch with 4' tiller. We decided on strip gardening leaving grass space/walkways between rows. Yes, we do get dear and rabbits. I will this winter put 2' or 3' chicken type fence to the existing fence to hopefully...

Sorry about the delay. The dealer finally got a service manual from Branson and it appears the evaporator sensor is bad, Branson is telling him per warranty can't replace the sensor must replace the whole HVAC component in the roof. I did verify with a different dealer that Branson does...

What was that old saying day late and dollar short.... :) Just did a quick look and yes does appear to be the same.
