branson 3820i

Just died this morning. What battery would you recommend for this tractor?

Long story short I broke the loader control valve on my 3820i which has the BL20S loader. I need a new one and Branson thinks I'm rich and wants 828 dollars for a new one. I know I can use a Prince or Brande etc, but which one is my question? Can anyone help with this ? I have rear remotes which...

I need parts for my Branson 3820i, where could I get ? I just found out Big Red out of Texas went out of business :(

To fix my radiator, I had the repair close off a couple of the tubes. It mostly works fine. However, if I have to spend a long time mowing in the summer, it begins to overheat. I checked with the local Branson dealer and they want over $650 for a new one. I see Kubota radiators on Ebay for...

Hi all, I am looking to add a pair of forks to the FEL. How do the bolt on forks work? I have not been able to find any that will directly connect to the Branson QA or a Branson conversion to SSQA. Local Branson dealer doesn't offer any help. Would it be better to Just convert it over to...

What oil has everyone found to work best when replacing the engine oil ? It has a Wix oil filter now. I do not have a Dealer close to me, have you found a place to ordered new fuel filters online ? Thanks.

I have a 10 year old Branson 3820i. When I got ready to do my summer mowing, the PTO dash light didn't come on. The PTO was dead. Replaced the fuse (which didn't look bad) and the dash light came back on. PTO started working again and I thought it was fixed. However, after mowing several...

Hello to all.....looking to find a place to download a service/repair manual for a Branson 3820i, just got one, runs fine but has been setting and want to change oil & filters and maybe do a little "late/missed" maintenance.....Thanks...docP

I just purchased this tractor, shortly after getting it (500 hours) the 3P started to not hold when I shut off the engine. It will also drop with the enging running when I use the FEL. I replaced the hydraulic filter and accordingly the fluid but that didn't help. There are also bubbles in the...

Need help tracking down why my tractor won't start. Battery seems good (12.8 volts). Turn the key on and everything seems normal. Fuel pump hums and pre heater clicks away. Once the engine light goes out I turn the key and......nothing. Does not make a sound. Is there a safety neutral...

For the past week I have noticed that when I put my key on, my fuel pump does not make the clicking noise. But it starts right up, and has given me no problems. Anyone else ever experience that? I can only assume I'll be heading to NAPA for a new one shortly. Hope it doesn't go in the middle of...

Just picked up my new tractor. Time to play!

Okay, question........My dumbass put too much oil in my tractor, it's a Branson 3820i. It now has some oil in #2 cylinder. I pulled out the glow plugs to see this. Question is can I turn over the engine safely with out the glow plugs out? Or what is a better way to get the oil out? Thanks, Kenny

By looking at the specs, the 3820i and the 4220i are identical, even the engines seem to be identical in respect to the displacement, etc. Is it simply a matter of timing to gain the extra 4 HP? If so, does anyone here know how to do this?

What is a good price on a new Branson 3820I, gear tranny and no loader ? What do dealers charge to put the single or double hydraulic remotes on this tractor ?

What is a fair price on a new Branson 3820I gear tranny tractor and no loader ? I would also like opinions on Branson tractors in general . Thanks!

I got my new 3820i about 3 weeks ago and love it! I've been working with a Maverick TY254 (Chinese-10 yrs old) and it has done all I've asked of it, but the breakdowns are getting more and more frequent and parts harder to find all the time. I finally got the OK from the "Boss" to get one that...

Just bought a new 38201. So far so good. Just one question, and please forgive my ignorance as this is my first diesel tractor. The operator's manual states that to start the tractor, you wait for the glow plug light to turn off, have the throttle on max, and then start the tractor. Is there...

Going down to buy a new 3820i with loader on Monday. All ready worked out a real good price. Anyone have any suggestions of adjustments to this tractor that I should have the dealer make before delivery. I plan to have him fill the rear tires with rim guard, and add a set of front remotes for a...
