    Buying a Branson

    Thanks. I have noticed different packages and some have HD attachments but others just list “attachments”. That was my concern that they would mostly be junk. The one that sells the heavy duty are Bad Boy attachments but the rest look like Agri-X brush hog and Kodiak box blade with no “HD”...

    Buying a Branson

    Does anyone have any experience with buying online from an out of state dealer? Depending on what my local dealer is willing to do I’ve been debating buying a package deal off tractorhouse.com. There’s 2 places on there offering packages, CSTK in Kansas and Tractor Yard in Oklahoma. I realize...

    Buying a Branson

    This could be a dumb question but does the additional weight of the 3620 compared to 3515 cause the engine to noticeably labor more when you have the FEL and a rear attachment on?

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for sharing, that’s exactly what I was figuring I’d have to do with it, grab some and cut it into a more manageable size. I’d like to build some hugelbeds with all the leftover wood in tandem with the tops to act as screens and funnels so being able to lift and maneuver and stack some...

    Haha thanks, I definitely don’t want to be rueing anything down the road

    Buying a Branson

    No field work or anything like that. Majority of what it’ll be used for is maintaining trails and small kill plots 1/4-1/2 acre as well as snow removal and chores around the house. What I’m most concerned about is since the farm was recently timbered I’d like the option to move tops and brush...

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for all the info, you’ve been a great deal of help! I’ll see if I can’t find the video again, I was down a rabbit hole when I found it so I’m not sure what it was even called anymore.

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for all the insight fellas, it’s much appreciated. I’d like to continue picking your brains if I can. With how minimal the price difference is between the 4215 and 3620 would it make more sense to go with more hp in the 15 series or bump up to the 20 series to gain more lifting capacity...

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for the info. The YouTube video I saw was specifically for a Branson so maybe he was confused because he was saying not to run it over 2,200rpm but I thought running it low or idling was when you get the issues? I also thought Branson was one that didn’t have the typical filter process...

    Buying a Branson

    So how much of a pain are these new DPF filters? I was watching a YouTube video that said if the light comes on you gotta take your machine to a dealer to get it “fixed”? I’ve never used one with a filter on it before so these are new to me.

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for your help, sounds like the 3515 can handle a lot of stuff, is there any times you wish you would have bumped up to the 4215? Also thanks for the tip about Keno, I’m checking out their site right now.

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for the input, that’s a nice setup you got! When do you feel the power lacking? I’m concerned about pto hp to handle attachments which is why I was looking at either the 3015 or 3515. Honestly for the price difference might even go with a 4215 haha I don’t know!

    Buying a Branson

    I was at my local Kubota dealer twice and not impressed with the salesman’s knowledge and it seemed like me being there was a hassle. I’m planning to make a trip to the Branson dealer this week to dive a little deeper with their service and gauge as best I can how helpful they will be if I buy...

    Buying a Branson

    Got ya. I believe he’s the largest Branson dealer in my state and advertises that they have Branson parts in stock with trained techs and a certified warranty center. Whether or not that’s all true is another discussion. Online reviews seem to be favorable but I know that’s not always reliable...

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for all the help and input, definitely appreciated. I’m thinking I might hold off on a snow removal attachment for this winter to try it with the FEL and go from there. If I can get away with a 4’ or 5’ attachment down the road I think that’ll be fine for me and if I need to do an extra...

    Buying a Branson

    Branson, Deutz Fahr and Scag mowers. Being too new is the red flag?

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for the help, I was thinking with the small sqft I’ll be using them on I could get away with a smaller size of both attachments and not regret being able to go bigger. For snow removal I’m still debating between a front blade, snowblower or just FEL, thoughts on them? I’m in central PA so...

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks, that is really my only concern at this point is support of dealer and honoring warranties. From what I’ve read some of the issues with tractors could have been operator error or just a faulty tractor. I get there’s no brand that sells 100% of tractors with no issues off the lot but...

    Buying a Branson

    So for the farm field work isn’t a concern since that gets rented out to a local farmer. We use it primarily for hunting and have around 100 acres of wooded ground that was recently timbered. The reason I was thinking 3015 was for the extra ground clearance and extra pto power over a SCUT for...

    Buying a Branson

    You’re correct about the torque converter, thanks for pointing that out because I didn’t even think about the difference between that and a mechanical shuttle.

    Buying a Branson

    Thanks for the feedback and I definitely agree with the less electronics and computer controlled the better. I own a 72 Case 580CK which has zero electronics on it and very easy to work on. It’s a shuttle shift as well so I’m use to that type of transmission and enjoy using them but have never...

    Buying a Branson

    Good day all! I’m looking to purchase my first compact tractor and have been quite impressed by the Branson specs compared to other similar big name brands. I guess my first question is what are the good, bad and ugly about Branson? I’ve found some bad reviews online about the company but I know...
