Unplugged the exhaust connector and let it sit for two minutes. Plugged it back in and turned key to ON position only. They're both still blinking. *flash* *flash* *pause* *flash* *flash* *pause* Unplugged connector to the DPF log piece in front the radiator. Let it sit for two minutes...

Edit: Lights stopped blinking and were off for about 5 minutes after the rest procedure. They have since come back on again and are doing the same flashing. Have unplugged connector at exhaust. I assume this is the connector in question. DPF is new to me, I usually work on old 350 and 305...

Thanks for the info, will give this a shot at lunch. The manual is scant on info regarding all this. Where did you find those DPF instructions?

This is almost where I am and how all of my friends have fixed their problems haha. I'll give Boswell's reset procedure a try first though.

Hi all, We had a decent snow here last night, about 8 or 9 inches. Fired the tractor up today to plow and my DPF and Regen light both are blinking twice then delaying. According to the manual this is a "Learning Error of the electric exhaust valve". It has scant information and just says it...

I do, but most of our roads in this part of North Carolina are 10ft wide one-lane dirt roads with minimal traffic, so it's low risk. Plus the roads are conducive to a trailer, although I've driven both a 16ft trailer and multiple fire apparatus on the roads without problem. The pasture that I...

No, I was using the 3/8" rebar and screwdriver to hold the pin so it wouldn't rotate. I have a 3ft breaker bar with a 34mm socket I was using to actually turn the nut, but instead of just the nut turning it was turning the entire pin and while bending my rebar and screwdriver. The bolt had...

Thanks all, I managed to get it off. I had tried both a screwdriver and piece of rebar prior to this post and was bending both the rebar and the screwdriver. I wound up heating the living daylights out of the nut with a torch, beating on it a couple times with a small sledge, then retried the...

I'm trying to think of how I can get these pallet fork receivers off this bushhog. The only things I can think to do is: 1. Take off the pin with a socket on the nut, and a screwdriver through the hole, and hope the screwdriver can handle the force I exert on a breaker bar, which is not likely...

The front end loader weight makes sense. Wasn't sure if Branson's specs included the FEL weight as part of the 2700 or not. My tractor weighs upwards of 6k though. The rear tires have beet juice ballast, and I use a set of cast iron disks from 1910 on the rear to counterbalance. Those of us...

That makes sense, I was hoping to be able to handle bulk 1 ton feed totes with this tractor, but it looks like that may be questionable now.

Hi all, My 5520H is rated at 2700lbs lift capacity I believe. The other day I hooked up my set of pallet forks (350lb weight) then slide them under a pallet of 45 cinderblocks (35lbs each * 45 = 1575lbs) for a total weight of 1925lbs. The tractor hydraulics were about maxed out at that...

10-4, thanks!

Hi all, Trying to find if the 5520H comes with a cat 1 hitch or cat 2 hitch? I found some specs for a TYM 5520H, which I believe makes Branson, and theirs is showing as Cat 1 hitch. Is Branson a Cat 1 as well? https://tym.world/en-us/products/tractors/compact/series-3/5520/

Hi all, Just to update, there was no easy way to scrap something together because of the angles in that steel suction line. Wound up having a friend come over (who has a utility truck with a small crane) and we pulled loader off, then pulled the loader bracket off and put an OEM replacement...
