Buying Advice Narrowed it down to 2 tractors: Help me decide

[MESSMAKER]

I think your Yanmar is probably grey market. Does not make the tractor bad but can make support tough to get. I think the Yanmar is probably enough tractor but not the right tractor. Get the Branson.

if he has o branson dealer close. support for it could also be tough.. He can get just about any part he needs for that yanmar from Fredricks ,or Hoye .. Having said that, the branson seems to be a better buy with all the attachments. I would look / check the tractor over well though

Thanks for all the info guys. I checked out the Branson today. Nice and tight machine. Been used for sure and sun faded but is in great mechanical shape. Dealer very honest. Bought the whole package including backhoe, box scraper and complete fluid and lube service for 12,300

That seems like a good deal! Have fun and congrats. We'll of course need an obligatory, "Home on the range" shot of the spread once you get everything back home and settled in. :thumbsup:

I'll bet that those of us who followed this thread are all in agreement that you made the right choice! Sounds like a lot of equipment for the money.

I would have been all over that deal had it been around when I bought mine. I bought my 2005 4720, 264 hours on the clock, with a Branson 8620 hoe (their larger hoe) for 21k shipped to California from Texas. I wasn't bummed on it, this guy seems to have gotten a very good deal.

Yep, good choice, enjoy and don't let the buyer's remorse that comes up ruin your joy. Sounds like you did your homework.
