Century C47L

I am glad it all worked out for you. I would like to find me a deal like you did. Overall how do you like the tractor?? I am looking at a used one but no one around here has any century or branson tractors to hear the good or the bad about.

I am very happy with the performance so far. We handle very large logs without a problem. The unit has plenty of power, I need to add fluid to the tires to help a little with traction. 4wd helps but I could get more out of it with the extra weight. I pushed several trees out yesterday without any problems. I spent a lot of time on a Branson 3510 a couple years ago and can't complain about either of these units. Hydro would be nice for the back and forth stuff but the shuttle still makes for quick reversing.

Koo_Well,
Pleased to hear it all worked out right... eventually.
Yeah, "You done GOOD" for $7K (-:

matt,
my Century 2535 (same as Branson 3510) was a phenomenal workhorse.
used it to move a LOT of rock, some of it big enough to need roughly 1000# of counterweight off the 3 point, and it never failed me.
if you get one, go for the universal skid steer type QA loader - it's worth the extra $$ most folks charge just for the convenience of being able to buy/rent front attachments easily.

were you able to find a manual for this Tractor, I just picked up one a well and am have problems finding parts oh and were to find stuff like the hydraulic reservoir. It is hard to fill or check when you don't know where it is. I think I found the tank, but know idea where to fill or check the level. Yes I am a city boy that just got a tractor.
