For those curious about service/warranty. I’ll be doing my own routine service in my shop. I spoke to my local TYM dealer (TYM bought branson) and they offered to do warranty for for me should the need arise. They were a very good dealer and I almost purchased a Kioti from them specifically...

Just got home from a 1900 mile trip. 950 miles each way. Only did it cuz I saved a ton. If I can make the drive in one day, each way (which I did) I’d consider it. Any further and I’d keep looking

Very happy to be home. I think somewhere that I can make the drive in one day is about my limit haha. Just happened to be 950 miles each way. But I saved a solid 8 grand by making the journey. Even after fuel and alternator repair. I agree strongly about the “iron out the weight and tie down...

You have no idea. Left az at 8am. Got to Tulsa at 10pm my time. Midnight their time. Got to the tractor dealer at 8am their time. 30 min later hit the road. Didn’t realize tractors don’t have built in attachment points Every fuel stop I always check straps and tires. 500 miles in my 2 rear...

So, 4 months later and many hours of simply over thinking things I drove 1900 miles round trip in 48 hours to pick up my new Branson 2515h with loader, backhoe, quick connect forks, box blade, and 20ft 10k trailer from the tractor yard in Oklahoma. I didn’t want to leave this as yet another...

Thanks for the feedback. while I do have a 24ft 14k trailer I do see appeal in running a CUT vs something larger. my intent was always to get the largest/heaviest CUT that I could. I guess where I could have elaborated more, but alluded to later in the thread is what will a 40hp cut do that a...

Which I guess is why I struggle with the “need” to go up to a 40hp tractor that has the same frame, weight, and hydraulic capacity as the 25hp ones I’m looking at.

That’s awesome Mike! Are you fabbing up a custom exhaust manifold or running an adapter? which turbo did you go with? these rigs have the fuel to support the added power as well? have you already checked the timing to see if you have any room to advance and raised the rpm? Hopefully you were...

I won’t be working all 20 acres. There doesn’t seem to be any 25hp tractors with a factory turbo I got excited when I saw the new Massey 1835 has a turbo but it also has DPF. Most of the Massey units are DOC only. However the 1835 and 1840 have DPF and DOC. so then I checked Mahindra as they...

Wow. That 2515h looks like it has some promising specs. time for me to get back to reading haha. thanks for the suggestion! Edit: looks like not a single dealer in my state.

Thanks for the detailed reply Jeff. we are at ~6000ft elevation. The land is flat, I don’t plan on rotary cutting nor snow blowing. we do get the occasional snow but nothing crazy and it typically melts within a day or two. I wasn’t planning on utilizing the rig for snow related activities...

Thanks for the feedback and welcomes so far! I agree on some of the above. JD wasn’t even on my radar I just remember my initial research led me to choosing them vs Kubota. Since then I’ve discovered how much further my dollar will go (for now) on one of the alternatives. I have no brand...

Yeah I’m on the fence about the hoe as well. Seems my money could be spent on other implements but I still go back and forth. Side note: I just discovered that the bobcat CT2025 is essentially a rebadged CK so that at least expands my options of inventory a bit more. Apparently the Kubotas are...

Greetings! I’ve been perusing this forum for the past few months as a guest and finally decided to create an account and dive right in. First things first. I’ve never owned a tractor before I’ve been reading and reading on what type of machine would be most suitable for my family We are looking...
