That BL150 Loader is structurally identical looking and lift specs match exactly to the BL200 Loader found on the 20 and 25 series. The only difference is the lift rating. Must have lower relief pressure. A beefy loader for such a sized machine indeed because even on the larger frame 20/25...

Any thoughts on a 5835C model (cab). I would be interested in that as opposed to a Yanmar YT359C. Any thoughts on the new Bad Boy rebranded branson tractors. As far as I can tell they are the same but with a different fancy looking seat, and a light bar on the ROPS. I'm currently running a...

I was just looking through Branson's website today and noticed that the 25 series has been removed but the 20 series remains. This is the opposite of what I would have guessed. Does anyone have any more info?

Nice looking tractors. I like the R1 radial tyre option. Would love to have one of those HVAC pressurized cabs for the upcoming heat this summer.

Here is my Diamond C Fmax210SS with Alcoa 17.5 wheels that I added. Latest load and weight slip pictured. Empty weight on the 25' trailer was right at 6k with the stock steel wheels. I originally wanted the wider beamed FMAX208, which would have hauled this 545D, but the price was barely higher...

Here is the 110 on my "Best Trailer INC" 18' with flip up ramps trailer. Never did go though a CAT scale with this setup, only towed it once. Note that the trailer had two 7K drop axles, with ALCOA 16" forged Aluminum wheels and Good Year G614 "G" rated 14 ply rating 110PSI tires. Also here is a...

Good day fellow TBN forum members: Alright so I traded my 2006 Deere 110 with 2100 hours for a 1999 Ford 545D with 900 original hours. I had no need for the backhoe, but did need at least 3500 lb loader lift cap for setting 2x2x6 concrete blocks and also a tad more PTO power for my 7' Harley...

Got some more pics from my local dealer. Looks like a great tractor. Would like to try the power shuttle first hand.

Here in California it is well known that the CDL requirements are different than throughout the rest of the country. I.E. a common statement is "any non-RV/Horse trailer over 10K GVW or more needs a CDL to tow." While this is true, simply having a CDL may not meet the requirements, at least...

Has anyone ever considered adding a turbo to the 2510 to turn it into a 2800H but with the three range transmission and the better loader. I did a quick search online for the parts related to the intake and turbo/manifold on the 2800H and everything can be ordered. For higher elevations the...

The branson factory 3td function diverter kit includes a new FEL control with momentary button on the backside. When the button is depressed, the bucket curl function now becomes the 3rd function for grapple etc. I've found no issues with it whilst working with brush, trees, and even a carport...

About 23 years ago in high school I used to work for my neighbor mowing grass + random yard work. One day he brought home his brother's Deere 1070 with Loader and 3pt attachment. I didn't think anything of it at the time because I didn't know any better but to this day I have never seen such an...

Wanted: John Deere 110 TLB with Front/Rear Aux SCVs belly pan and thumb (The newer the year the better) Looking for a good used unit, preferably stored indoors and well maintained. Would prefer a lightly used clean single private owner unit, or at least one with prior history known. A lot to...

Anyone have any opinons or info on the new branson 25 series for the USA market? I just saw them added to the branson website. On paper, they look very similar to the 20 series albeit a bit wider, and all have a new smaller bore 4 cyl (no 3 cyl in the line) with no turbo'd options and up to 42...

Good day, Supraman0614: As you can see in the LS brochure screenshot below, (found @http://lstractorusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/XU5000-Brochure.pdf) the XU series is quite a bit different, it has the LL5105 loader vs. the LL4104 seen on the XR series. No smokestack on the smaller XR...
