Thanks. Exactly what I needed.

Congratulations and welcome. I think you'll find there are "more things to do" now that you have a tractor. Check out the forum for suggestions for attachments. Much will depend on what you are planning to do and what "jobs" you can take on now. Loader is a no-brainer and is almost standard...

I imagine the BL10A or the BL10S would be the closest to what I need. I'm guessing both of those manuals are for the euro/global style loader connection.

I'm in need of some older stuff. My '03 3510 with a BL10 loader. I have an older 10-20 series service manual, but nothing for the BL10 loader. Anyone know of a source for that?

Thanks for all of the advice. My trailer is a tilt so no ramps to worry about. I have seen several posts about straps getting cut on sharp edges. I keep several pieces of leather in my strap bag to put on those places where the strap might run on a sharp edge. I just purchased a new set of 2"...

Now that I'm getting ready to retire and will have more time to do things with my Branson, I'm wondering about trailering it to places to do some small jobs. I've got an 18 foot Aluma tilt trailer that I use to haul my cars, but I've never used it for the tractor. It is a conventional without...

Got my tractor in 2003 when the dealer was 8 miles away. I did all my own maintenance and they did any warranty work. Since they closed in 2010 I've done everything that the tractor needed. Fortunately it has been only regular maintenance and minor repairs (brakes, shuttle shift linkage, etc.)...

I've used a tarp from the hood to the rear 3-point for 20+ years. Getting it around the ROPS can be challenging sometime. The snow we had earlier this week was a pain, but the tarp kept the tractor dry in the important areas. I put a 5-galloon bucket upside down on the seat to keep the tarp from...

I purchased my 3520 in 2003 and wouldn't trade it for anything out there right now. As others have said a good local or regional dealer is important. When I bought mine we had a really good Branson dealer within 10 miles, but he went out of business 10 years ago. My closest dealer is nearly 200...

I've used a PECO lawn vac since 2003. It is only 5 horsepower with a 7" hose, but it has cleaned up at least a couple hundred bushel of leaves every fall - 3 acres of poplar and oak. It outlasted my last tractor and is now hooked to a JD X570. Finding the right attachment for the deck took a few...

Just throwing this out there because I've been burned twice on this. On two occasions over the last 5 years I've had a similar issue. Starter won't engage, click, or do anything, but I've got lights and gauges. Turns out I had a bad ground from frame to battery both times. Ground was good enough...

Lots of information here that I have found helpful. My 2003 3510 has really low hours (198) and I consider myself fortunate with the minimal repairs I've had to make. I did have the "bouncing" 3-point about 4 years after purchase and it was fixed by replacing the original hydraulic filter. I've...

I purchased my Branson 3510 18 years ago from a local dealer. Over the years the dealers in our areas have disappeared, but there are still several Branson tractors operating in my local area. When the local dealers started to disappear I got a little worried about keeping my Branson, but I have...

Would have purchased the same tractor today as I did in 2003. I think I may have sprung for the backhoe attachment, but other than that I can't complain about the service I've gotten out of it. Hopeful to get another 18 or more years out of it.

I typically don't loan anything of value. If you need a hammer or something cheap that's OK, but I'll not loaning out anything that cost more than $10 bucks to replace. My JD and Branson only come with me in the seat. I did loan a walk behind lawn mower to my neighbor (not my Honda) about 12...

This kind of problem can drive you crazy. In the 18 years I've had my 3510 there have been 2 occasions where I was out working, shut the tractor down for 10-15 minutes, came back and it wouldn't start. Every time it has been a ground issue, usually to the frame. Yesterday it happened again, but...

Nice setup. I always thought about getting a backhoe, but never did. Hope you get as much fun out of yours as I have gotten out of mine.

Sorry to hear about the COVID "catch". Hope you recover soon. Here is a picture of the boot on my 2003 3510. Not sure if this is the same. I was able to buy two of them back in 2010 when we had a local dealer. I think they were $28 each. Not a cheap item.

Branson 3510 with > 30 hours. I recently started noticing that my York rake was "bouncing" when I raised it all the way up. It raises and lowers fine, but when you raise it up all the way it slowly drops a couple of inches and then raises back up. It is a rhythmic thing and isn't changed by...

Working my "paying" job until 5PM each day gives me a late start on getting the "real work" done with the tractor. The daylight is fading earlier each day , but the work is still there. I want to mount a couple of work lights on the ROPS to improve visibility after the sun sets. Anyone out...
