Did I get a good deal?

Kaizer Peas · Feb 18, 2010

I just bought a 2007 Branson 3510i with 80 hrs on it. Looks to be very well maintained and the dealer he bought it from delivered it and did the 50 hr.maintenance. He's real thorough. It has a 7620 Back hoe, skid steer loader, dozer blade, King Kutter 7' blade and a field cutter for $22500.

How did I do?

Not horrible by any means. Price varies alot by location. I bought my 3510h (hydro), 8620 BH, and 72" rotary cutter for $26,000 new in 2008. It sounds to me like you did alright. A rig with 80 hours isn't even broken in yet.
You are gonna love the tractor, it's heavy and has plenty of power. If you got a dealer that gives you the warm fuzzies, that's worth some money in itself. Posting a couple pics wouldn't hurt anyones feelings

I'd say you did fine. I've had my 3510i for almost two years and certainly don't regret the decision to buy Branson. I think you will be very happy with your new tractor.

Here's a few pics of my 3510 after playing in the dirt a little bit. After having a John Deere
770 this is a very nice upgrade. I think I'm goint to enjoy the hoe a lot. I have many stumps to remove.

I was quoted $21500 for the same tractor new with the skid steer loader. A large part of that is the very high sales tax in this state.

Living in the mountains every view gives me a big smile.

Living up a dirt..mud..dusty..icy..snowy road that truck is darn near clean, at least till may, maybe..

Love the tractor so far and the more I use it I'm sure I just enjoy it more.
