    Branson 2505H Problem (Need Help)

    Of course you've bleed the fuel lines good and I wouldn't be concerned with the new pump, perhaps a bent fuel line . I would cut à seven foot piece of water hose stick it down to the bottom of the fuel tank and siphon a gallon and see what's in there, diesel is real bad about gunking up with trash.

    Mahindra rpm 540 / 2000

    If it's a clutch issue seems you should be smelling some clutch, perhaps the clutch pressure plate ? If it don't have a hydraulic system to the clutch peddle it should be fairly stiff to push but if it don't and the clutch peddle kinda flops or very easy to push check that out.

    Will my tractor damage neighbor’s rototiller?

    Long as the land has been used for a garden before and the pto speed is lowest 540 I can't see there being any issues, but if it's new garden I would be concerned of roots,rocks,pipes, etc., That could do some real damage. And your tire tracks will likely over lap and pack down what the row.

    Bush hog blade stopping

    I was in the belief that the tractor has no issues, therefore it's a problem with the rotary cutter.
