Price Check Branson 3820 pricing advice... info...

Well, we went ahead and bought the Branson today. After comparing it with some Centurys on his lot of similar hp and to some Kioti's at a dealer just up the road... it really was clear Branson was the best choice for us. Should be delivered tomorrow or Wednesday. Dealer was nice about everything, we know him outside the dealership too from other organizations in town. He didn't have enough stuff to load the tires yesterday (not calcium... not sure what they use now), and said it would be two weeks before he had enough, so he's going to deliver the tractor in the mean time, then pick it up and bring it back to load it, and then return it, no extra charge.

Thank you to everyone who offered their advice, knowledge and opinions. I feel like we've made a well researched and informed choice... which is important to us when making a purchase this big and important. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. I can't wait to haul that first load of firewood with it and mow the first hayfield in the spring.

Congratulations!

I think that you'll find that you made a great choice. The dealer sounds like a real peach too - Very important down the road...

Mitch, do you have any play room on that price, and does it have the skid steer universal QA for the loader bucket?
my Century 2535 w/c50hl loader was stolen about 6 weeks ago and the insurance co left me hung out to dry.
That tractor helped me build my house, and was capable of things I never expected out of a tractor that small.
I'd love to have another one of the Kukje machines, but don't have the $$ to go new.
PM me if you have some slack in that price - or are willing to do some bartering for the difference.

I do have some room, I hate to see the tractor just sit there. call me on the phone. The FEL does have the quick tach fittings.

Hello all, I'm a new member to this site, it seems like a very informative site....I too am thinking of buying a 3820 branson, they seem to have good reviews, let me know how you like yours!

I have a 2006 Branson 3820 with FEL (wish I has d bought the Backhoe). It has been flawless over the past year and I have run it pretty hard. It will work beyond the lesser made tractors. I have asked mine to do more than I should but it doesn't complain. I would buy another Branson if mine is stolen as I feel at my age it will last me the balance of my days here on earth. I also compared tractors for a while before my purchase. I also own a Yanmar 2002 and a Ford 9N. The Branson is built well and gives me more bang for my buck.
I paid $14,900 delivered with a new FEL, back blade, and 50 hours. I feel like I got a bargain. At the time a New 3820 was around $18,000 from the same dealer. Buy before spring as prices usually go up beginning in February or March.
