The 2515 needs them added. The T474 has standard rear remotes and is close in size to the 15 series. What are you trying to find in a tractor?

I don't think any of the 15 or 20 series have standard remotes. I wish TYM would change that

I ordered mine with 2 remotes but I thought 1 was standard but may be wrong. I had to order anyway because I wanted R1 tires and the 4815C was a new model that was not on a dealer lot yet.

You'll wish you had them. I don't and I wish every day I did. Working on fixing that. I wouldn't buy a tractor without a couple of remotes.

Truth. Hydraulic top link is a no brainer too if you use any ground engaging tools.

Ditto on rear remotes!! If you ever get a hydraulic top link you will wonder why you waited! W. Jones

It's almost always cheaper and easier to have them added to the initial purchase. Not only that but it gives you more to grow into, and better resale.
You'll never regret adding remotes and a 3rd function.

That was a factor in my choice for sure. 2 sets of remotes standard and pre-wired for 3rd function. Now I need to decide on a grapple.

Prom: Consider spending some time reading reviews of Branson company - and how they address issues. I was shocked at reading the Better Business Bureau report. Maybe not so much the issues, but that Branson DIDN'T do anything meaningful to resolve the issues, even with the awful reviews.
Were I buying my first tractor, I'd go with one of the big 2. There are reasons they are, where they are, in the market place.
TYM | Better Business Bureau® Profile
This organization is not BBB accredited. Tractor Dealers in Rome, GA. See BBB rating, reviews, complaints, & more.www.bbb.org
Good point. I called the national office (I found it via Google maps as their phone number isn't listed on their site). After a few calls and routing to voicemail I spoke with Scott in management and informed him that no one from TYM was addressing the BBB page and that someone from Corporate should assign that task. He said he would forward my suggestion up the chain.
Keeping the BBB page in perspective, TYM has a review score of 1.0 out of 5 stars. Kubota has 1.04 out of 5 stars.
In total, TYM has about 9 complaints and reading them it seems like 1/2 or more were ruled that the damage was caused by the operator and not covered under warranty.
The complaints about Kubota are on par with those leveled against Branson - that the tractors break and no one will fix them under warranty. There are always two sides to every story and somewhere between the breakdown and the BBB complaint the operator dealt with the local dealer and warranty department.
While I find it troubling that the company doesn't monitor the BBB page, that may just be an oversight, and one that can be corrected. But when I look at Kubota's replies to some BBB complaints I couldn't help but chuckle and wondered if TYM left this reply to each complaint would we be more confident:
