Price Check 3820 pricing

I've read on here before where people had some problems with tie rod ends breaking on the 20 series. I assume by now branson has corrected this issue? Also if the 4720 uses the same clutch as the 3820, it may be more likely to slip with the added hp under a hard load? How is the loader lift capacity? Does it have plenty of power? I was reading elsewhere on here about shimming the pressure relief valve on an L3400 kubota to get more lifting power

Hmm, the tractor is most likely heavier than any thing in it's class,
I have never slipped the clutch.
For the most part I keep some sort of weight on 3pt
usally my box scraper to keep the rear wheels from lifting
when picking up heavy loads with the loader.
I have picked up CJ7 no axles or motor and sat it on my car trailer

Haha a cj7? That's the kind of real world experience I like to hear, I can put that into perspective!

I have a Yanmar 2002 (25 HP) and a Ford 9N. I also have a 2006 Branson 3820 with FEL. I purchased the Branson with 60 hr on it from Dave's Tractor's in Edinburg IN. Dave offered the best price on a new or used tractor. I looked at several Mfgs of tractors and decided on the Branson based on price, owner feed back and test driving. My Branson has been worry free and I am not easy on machinery. Dave is an honest guy and talking to some of his customers - they are satisfied with his service. I like the R4's as I use my Branson for mowing, hauling, grading, and pulling. If I was just working the fields, I would opt for the AG tires. The only problem I have had with the R4's is they don't give as good traction as the AG tires but they also don't tear up the turf as badly when my lawn is wet.
