    Actual weight?

    Good morning all! So, how much weight do you figure in? I am trying to figure the "actual weight" of the tractor I am looking at. The Branson site says the 3725CH is 4195. Is that dry weight without a loader? I think it is. So, if I want to tow a loader and a box blade, any idea how much...

    What LS with a cab and A/C? (Looking for lowest price with an A/C)

    Hey guys, I was looking a year or so ago, and am just about to the point I could get a tractor and, at that time, I think the LS 3037(?) was the smallest LS I could get with a cab and A/C. Is that still the case and what sort of price should I expect (range.. I know).. for the tractor, a...

    Buying Advice  Texas cab or no cab? (towing limit)

    TYM?

    Well, I am getting closer to being able to get a tractor... still a little away, but I keep up on the latest etc, or so I thought. I was trying to look at TYM models and.. well.. the site I went to and people I spoke to last year do not seem to be pushing TYM like they did last year. Then, I get...

    Comparison  Tym vs Branson vs ?

    Hi guys, have not posted in a while. We have been busy.. heh.. bought 2 acres and are planning to build a house. Now, we also own 330 acres of hunting land. Here is what I am curious about: 1 - I really do not need a high end tractor. Let's be honest, so long as I do not say this to my wife...

    Does TYM have a 30-40hp with a cab? Just trying to do as much homework as possible on what is available. Did not see anything except a 29hp TYM then the 43hp one, with a cab. Russ

    Financing options?

    I am not sure I saw anything on this, just pieces in other threads. So, other than the two options most places have: 1 - Some % finance charge with 0 $ down over 60 months 2 - 10% down and "0%" (which is really not 0%) over 84 months. I heard something about an agriculture loan of some sort...

    What would you add, and why?

    Ok, I have narrowed my search to a T433. I opted for this over a T503 simply to keep the cost down and be able to afford other things. So, this is what I was thinking: T-433 Loader 6" Auger Trailer 6' Box blade Now, I figure, if I need one, I can always rent a backhoe, right? The cost of a...
