bought a branson 4720i

[calbug]

going to pick it up friday. comes with spreader, tiller, harrows, forks, grapple, bush hog, rake, hay spear, and cultivator. 2008 or 09 4wd with fel and less than 100 hrs. and rear tires filled. $12500. i think i got a good deal. everything is in good shape. paint is faded a little(not shed stored), a rear tail light lens is busted, and some guages dont work but overall in good condition. went to look today and gave a cash deposit. i'm fired up and cant wait to get it home. i totally forgot to take a picture so i'll post some when i get it home. i've heard and read this is a good brand and maybe i'll get good service and hopefully parts won't be an issue.

Cal, you never told how things turned out after you got your tractor. Was it a good investment? Have you had any issues? Would you recommend this particular tractor? I am looking at 2 of these both used. Would love to hear your story.

This tractor has been pretty solid and would recommend.
If I had to pick a gripe on it, it would be the flimsy plastic shroud/hood around the engine. I'm sure other brands are similar.
We had to put a clutch in it last year, but I blame this on previous owner. Previous owner had never adjusted it, so it shot pretty quick.

Rednight 13, I have just purchased a 2006 3820i with 345 hours. This has been a doing good fro me on my 5 acres.
Bought from a friend that bought it new.
Tractor FEL, Kodiak 5' brush cutter and 18' trailer for 10K. Think I did good.

Calbug, where in GA are you located ?
