Branson 3820i in Indiana

[jdlaw]

I got my new 3820i about 3 weeks ago and love it! I've been working with a Maverick TY254 (Chinese-10 yrs old) and it has done all I've asked of it, but the breakdowns are getting more and more frequent and parts harder to find all the time. I finally got the OK from the "Boss" to get one that would last longer than I will! After a lot of looking and researching the Branson was at the top of the pile. So far I'm VERY happy!!! Looking forward to more knowledge and insight from all you other tractor jockeys!

Thanks all! So far just mowing and grading. Wishing for more seat time! I really enjoy the weight and stability of this tractor! I live in a fairly hilly part of Indiana, and so far the slopes are very easy to negotiate with the mower deck (5' RFM). 5' Grader box and 6' back-blade are really a little small for this tractor but doing the job. I'm planning on an FEL in the spring...wasn't in the budget right now.

Hey there neighbor! I'm about 20 min form the south side of martinsville. I'm North of ellettsville in the sticks. I can hear the paragon speedway from my place.
Congrats with the branson! I was about ready to pull the trigger on a branson last year, but at the last min found out about kioti's free fel special and ended up with a dk40se.

Hey neighbor,

We aren't far apart....I'm north of Paragon and can hear the speedway too! I certainly don't blame you for going with the Kioti and the free loader...I was in between them and Branson. Finally let my macho need for a little more horsepower get the best of me..LOL. Did you get yours down in Switz City? That's where I was looking. So, are you around Gosport?

I checked with holtsclaw in switz city, but they were a little over priced compared to wallace tractor so my kioti came from wallace. Wallace is a well respected dealer on this site.
I'm about 15-20 min east of gosoport. I have an ellettsville address, But I'm only a few miles east of stinesville. I'm near the maskatatuck nature reserve.
I went to watch the last race of the season at paragon, a friend of mine was racing so I paid 30 bucks to get in the pits. Well It rained the race out before the first hot lap and they would'nt give anyone their money back! All they would do is give us a free pass for the first race of next season.
