Thanks all! Yesterday when I went to my dealer for a test drive I talked to an old timer loading up a ratted out, beat up 2008 Branson of similar size. He said his family bought their first tractor in 1957, so he's not new to tractors. He said you couldn't ask for a better tractor than these Bransons. Sealed the deal for me!! Now all we need is a break in the rain so I can play with my new toy, Ehhh hmmmm I mean use my new tool. :cool2: :drink:

Better be careful who you talk to if you're that influenced by others, you might find someone who will talk you into a Studebaker.

Very nice. Now go get that thing dirty.

 

[cathy liebchen]

good call over a used one. That model in a package is well under $20k around here and a popular Branson model

My studeabaker ran perfectly and never gave me a day of trouble, so that might not be as bad as you think.

Everything runs perfect for a while!

Good thing he is not the only person I talked too. Good thing I did my homework and tirelessly researched these and all tractors.

Hydro trans does not have a clutch...You should by a new tractor with a extended warranty and a dealer close by......

YES THIS
My little Kubota is hydro and has a clutch. I just use it to engage PTO.
BUT just get a new one. Unless you are getting considerable value. If close in price and they are both what you think you want get the new one.
