    Used 5520R warranty, etc

    The warranty is fully transferable. Just go to your nearest dealer and fill out a 1 page warranty transfer sheet. Easy as that.

    Ignition key

    Relocate the ignition switch to the right side of the main console area. There should be enough wire, there was on mine. No more chance of "bumping" the key with your knee.

    TYM/Branson 20 Series Maintenance Videos

    I am starting to really like the aquisition of Kukje/Branson by TYM. Videos being put out by the manafacturer, a website where you can download manuals and order parts. Who would have thought these things could be done!!! Best part is, they are currently keeping the Branson models in the lineup...

    I would go this route if I had a 15 series: https://www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/bucket-and-accessories/stump-bucket-for-skid-steer-quick-attach/124102.html I have a 5835R and went this route and it is all I can handle...

    5835r

    I have 200 hours on my 5835R. The tractor has been reliable with the only exception being the transmission control module needed to be "reflashed" due to shifting real hard. The weight with loaded rears and front loader is 7000 lbs. Plenty of power. Loader rated for 3400 lbs lift at the pins...

    DPF Removal

    The tractor should run fine if you gut the DPF. However, I believe you will get the DPF light flashing at you from the dash. The newer (2020+) tractors don't allow for you to simply unplug the DPF ECM like the older ones do. If you unplug it you lose your tach and temp gauges. If you end up...

    Branson Online Parts Lookup

    This may have been addressed previously but here is a link to an online Branson parts App. You will download the app to your desktop and log in from there. You will have to sign up with an email address and password. It appears legit as I have compared part numbers to my parts manual and all...

    5835R

    Thought I would share a couple of situations I ran into with my 5835R that may help someone else in the future: Performed my first regen today after getting notice on the dash that it was due (110 hours on clock). Put the the shuttle and range selector in Neutral, set emergency brake, revved...

    TYM 494 or Branson 4820

    I would base my decision on which dealer I felt would provide the best support. They are both fine machines.

    2515 HP Gain

    I bought a 2515H in January 2021. I put 180 hours on it in 8 months. I realized I had the wrong size tractor when I attempted to run a 5 foot tiller in the tough Georgia clay and the PTO HP deficiency raised its ugly head. It is possible that running 4 foot implements would have yielded a...

    Branson 4820H hydrostat pedal effort

    My 2515H pedals require significantly more effort than my buddies JD 4044M pedals do. The JD pedals are almost effortless.

    Branson 4815h Pricing

    I would say $23500 for a 4815H is a smoking deal being that the 2515H is $18995 on a national promotion sale until the end of this month. Local dealer said that if Branson doesn't renew the promotional price on the 2515H then it will go to $20995

    JD 410B blow by question

    Buy it...won't find one cheaper and will possibly profit when you are done with it. It is almost unbelievable that the hoe isn't full of slop and the pins are "tight front and back". The current owner is a friend as well, this is a no brainer.

    2515R/H weight

    2515H w/ Hoe on 16' trailer. It trailers really nice at 65mph. I was concerned about weight distribution but it works. 20' 10k trailer would be ideal.

    2515R/H weight

    Tractor 3000 lbs Loader 1000 lbs BH150 1000 lbs I estimate 5k for a 2515w/Hoe and no loaded tires. The dealers sell 7k dual axle trailers with these all the time but I believe you are at the ragged edge of safety with that setup. Can it be done, it is done all the time.

    BH 150 Backhoe Spec Sheets

    Take a look at these 2 "spec" sheets on the BH 150 and you'll see why I am always suspicious of Branson specs. The spec sheet that is plain white/black is taken from the BH 150 owners manual that I got last Friday with the purchase of the tractor/loader/backhoe. The other spec sheet with the...

    2515 Engine RPM limiter

    I have found that wide open on the hand throttle yields a max rpm of 2550. Does that seem correct? Redline starts at 3100 rpms. Is there any negative to adjusting max rpm to 2800 or so. I see where the adjuster is, opposite of the idle adjuster. However it doesn't appear to be a simple turning...

    Picked up 2515H today!

    I picked up a 2515H with BH150 Backhoe and factory diverter valve today. I bought a 4520R new back in 2015 and sold it last year. The 4520R sold me on Branson being built like a tank and being simple designs. When I first saw a 2515 I was blown away by the size of the tractor with a 25 hp...

    Why buy a Branson Tractor?

    OP, I have owned a 4520R Branson for 3 years so I feel that I can speak to their quality. My tractor is a shuttle shift so that is what I know. The tractors are built stout as others have pointed out and you get a lot of features included with the base package. The most frustrating aspect of...

    Grapple MTL eBay Inexpensive Root Rake Grapple

    Sorry it took me so long to follow up. I got the 48" MTL and I am happy with it so far. Quick attach fit nice and snug. At 350 lbs I have plenty of lift available. My tractor is 47 HP and around 5000 lbs with loaded tires and rear ballast. Seems well built and has grease fittings at all key areas.

    Loader Lift Cylinder 2005 T5C

    Finished replacing the original loader cylinders with the Mighty brand ones I got off Amazon. Total investment with fittings was $225.00 and that covered both sides. Install went pretty smooth. Only thing that required some massaging was the rod ends were to wide and needed an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch...

    Hydraulic System Oil Change

    I just purchased a 2005 T5C a few weeks back and decided to change out the hydraulic system oil. Unless I am missing something, there is not a drain plug/petcock anywhere on the hydraulic reservoir. I ended up removing the 3/4" hose on the lower side of the tank and drained it that way. Lifted...
