Branson site gone?

[BryceSteiner]

I went to the Branson tractor site - I know they were bought by TYM - and the site is completely gone. Is it just me?

 

[airbiscuit]

The site has been gone for a few weeks. RIP Branson

The TYM site is much better

I get "Hello World" - default wordpress site.
I was wanting to get some of the product brochures for some of their late models. Do they have a Branson section on the TYM website?

Have you tried the Way Back Machine? It has the Branson site captured at a number of time points. Start at Wayback Machine

They have manuals… maybe a brochure

They've really improved it; a year or so ago I'd of said it was on par with Branson's site as far as usability, or lack of.

 

[ptsg]

It's a much much better site. We can now easily change between different markets, check out all brochures, specs, operators and parts manual. It's also a lot faster than any of the Branson or TYM previous sites. Oh and it's usable on phones as well.

Overtly curious as to what the Branson dealer up town is gonna do, he has a boatload of them out front. Maybe change the decals? Don't see any reduction in units however. Maybe a fire sale is coming?

I'd imagine they'll become a TYM dealer, unless there is already another local one.

They place a TYM logo on it as well.

I took this at the dealer where I ordered my T574...they are a legacy Branson dealership. My nearest legacy TYM dealer has formerly Branson units in stock. The other said he could get them. If you zoom around the pictures in back, you will see he still has some with Branson logos and paint color.

Unfortunately too many players in the compact tractor market more yet to shrink and or go. As far as labels heat gun does wonders for polyester or vinyl labels on removal. Just be glad you have access to support and repair parts. As the market shrinks some brand X may not be so lucky. Dealer distances will be greater as market shrinks weeding out non value added dealers. What goes up must come down law of averages.

I predict Massey Ferguson and McCormick will be the next to fade from the CUT market (not counting Bad Boy and RK). Not sure what Bobcat will look like 5 years from now. Kioti and LS seem to be doing well, and Mahindra has a global presence.

I think they all will be challenged to find ways to reduce the cost of manufacturing. I know it's heresy, but as technology advances, battery powered SCUTs might be a lower cost option for Suburban Warriors.

Massey, really? You think so? They're all over the place here in Maine.

 

[airbiscuit]

They are a diminishing presence around here. Are you seeing a lot of Massey CUTs?

Agreed, I think Massey used to be the largest manufacturer on the globe (or one of).

Massey's parent company, AGCO, is a huge company.
