Are the Branson Specs for Real?

[Fitz_VA]

I have just joined the forums and have been bouncing around quite a bit picking info up over the last couple of days, great group. I am considering 3 brands right now including a Branson, probably a 3520. The specs in terms of loading capacity, and gross weight are above the others in it's class (significantly) so I am really interested to find out if these are the real deal or not. Something seems amiss for the price. I will be talking with a couple of Branson owners this week, figured you guys might have further input. It also appears that getting them is a bit hard right now. My local dealer says if could be 3 months. I wonder how hard parts and regular items will be to get.
Thanks,
Jim

The specs are real. The tractors are heavier than most, allowing for increased lifting capacity.

Sales have been off the charts, but generally a dealer shouldn't be more than 3 weeks out on any model.

If you decide to go with the 20 series, you'll find that the 4020 isn't much more than the 3520, so you might want to make that step up in power.

Fitz, I had to wait 22 days for mine. I havent tested my loader yet to see if it will lift according to mans. specs but I am impressed with it for its size. Ive done more things with it today than I could do with a 2 wheel drive larger tractor. Happy shopping. Franz
