JCAR,

Called Branson direct...they would ship me one out for about $69. That sounds a little high to me for a Kats block heater. Thanks for your reply.

JerryG,

Grill guard started as a OEM, but after I was pushing some brush/branches and cracked my grill, I had to do something. I just beefed it up a little...added a few more bars. If that's not enough i'll add some steel mesh on it but so far this worked great.

Branson has a can of touchup paint..."Branson Red" perfect match.

Ron

Evasive1,

Yes they are the tires that came with it. Don't know if dealer ordered something different but all his Bransons had the same R4's on them.

It's not quite as clean now as in August...but almost.

GEB,

I did just add a little diesel additive and now the weather warmed way up to about 30 degrees. -10 below though this weekend. (dreaming of spring time /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif) Thanks

sassafraspete,

Thanks for the beautiful tractor comment. Almost looks like yours... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif The grill wasn't that hard to do and certainly made a difference.

Still running some diesel fuel left from early fall bought from gas station...so put in a little additive.

I like the tractor but a few bugs in it yet to work out. Thanks

Ron, The block heaters that I have been buying from Branson are made by Yanmar and they screw into the side of the block. It is 400 watts with a cord, I have installed at least a dozen this year.

ronT,
Even with your additions, it looks stock. Good Job. They should all come the way it is now.

Yeah RonT looks good from here!
I was pickin up a 1979 Ford truck cab with my old 3820,
chain sliped & crashed right on my hood /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I do all sorts of metal fab work myself, so my new 4720
will get a grill guard work over soon.
I did shorten the ROP bar abit already, simply because
it was too tall for both of my buildings & sooner
or later I'm sure someone was gonna drive in not knowing
and make a mess out of the tractor and building!
And not to worry, I do custom roll cages for off-road Jeeps
so cuttin down my ROP was a brezze /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Ron,

What part of Iowa are you from. I am from SE Minnesota and get into Iowa alot.

Oh by the way, that is a nice looking rig. I didn't know Branson/Century existed until after I bought my New Holland. Did have the opportunity to try one and I think I would have bought if I hadn't already bought.

murph,

I'm from northeast Iowa.

Almost bought a New Holland myself but the dealer took too long to get back to me with a price.

While I was waiting(weeks) /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I stumbled on a Branson dealer out driving around one day. Liked it-researched it...bought it.
