Thanks will check it out!

Lots of good info here. I have a medium duty 6ft bush hog on my 47hp Branson. It cut’s well but needs constant attention else things get dramatic with rocks or scuffing the ground. Luckily at my cabin it doesn’t matter much but I am tired of scrubbing up the ground. I’m thinking of maybe...

I definitely remember as a kid in the 1960s, my father had a construction company with heavy equipment, front end loaders, cable and hydraulic shovels, dump trucks etc, and distinctly remember his partner who was the mechanic using it. I still remember him saying it in his heavy Italian accent...

Just wanted to update. They dropped off the tractor today, no call or notification they were coming. I wasn’t home. No paperwork either. It’s all fixed I guess, under warranty. A little concerned about no paperwork. I called and they said no papers, it’s no charge. I kinda wanted something...

So update, I talked to the service manager at Bobcat of the state I bought it in just now. They are covering it under warranty. The hold up is it needs a new engine and Bobcat doesn’t have any so it’s a full rebuild. I guess that is why they are waiting on approval but they ordered all the...

Things happened pretty quickly. I have a steep front lawn. I mow it up and down to avoid a possibility of tipping. I was backing up it, looking backwards, maybe 15 20 seconds worth, turned forward to make my down hill pass and saw steam and smoke. I shut down immediately. He dealer initially...

I know this model is a kioti. My relatively new tractor blew up its radiator a week or so ago just mowing the lawn on a 60 deg day. Mowed all last summer on hot days no problem. I was backing up and all of a sudden steam and smoke everywhere. I shutdown immediately. The temp gauge red low...

On mine there is a single tab / wire I think is for the tachometer. Anyway mine was user error by me using a cheap multi meter giving me false high voltage readings.

Slowpoke slim nailed it! It was my cheap ass meter. I tried my good one and no voltage rise, the cheap one read over 20 the good one read 14.28. As to why it starts out at 14.2.... both did, must be something to do with alternator output wave form not being pure DC and changing with load...

I have another meter I’ll try but I’m not attaching it, I take a reading then disconnect. The first reading is in the 14v range then subsequent are higher and higher. I seeyour point and thought that possible too.

Great idea! Thanks... I should have thought of that.😄

Yep, DC volts... it reads about 14.2 or so initially. After 15 min or so it’s at 19v. So I did replace the battery since it was 6 years old, no difference. Funny thing that got me down this path is that the old battery needed a jump even after mowing for 2 hours. I did and parked it and put...

I'm chasing alternator problems on mine...also a 4520C, 2015 model year. Mine hits 20v, the alternator tests fine at a repair shop I found. There isno tractor indication of trouble, I found it when the tractor needed a jump and I started measuring voltage at the battery. There should be a single...

So an update and request for advice. I finally got the alternator to a repair shop that fixes them. The owner is very good and knowledgeable. He's tested the alternator every which way he could, and it works just fine putting out 14.2 volts. Under a heavy load it drops a bit he said as...

Looks like it’s answered in another thread. Not a cheap fix, looks like I’ll need an alternator...$442 Anyone ever get one repaired?

So it’s looking like an alternator replacement then. $442 from one place just for the part. Anyone know if alternator is repairable

Hi folks, I have a 2015 Branson 4520c that had the battery die recently. I jump started it and finished my mowing. I put the battery on a trickle charger and next time it started right up..but interestingly, the charge light was still on on the charger before I disconnected. I assumed due to...

Hi please elaborate on what they did. I have a 2015 4520c thats putting out 20v at the battery. Not sure if there is a voltage regulator or if its inside the alternator. thanks!
