Need info on Century/Branson

DavesTractor · Oct 8, 2002

Not sure on Century models, but Branson models 2810, 3510, 3520, 4020 are all Kukje engines. The 4520 is powered by Yanmar. Kukje has partnered with Cummins, but it is not clear when the Bransons will have a "Powered by Cummins" sticker on the hood. As a new Branson Dealer (I also sell gray markets) I am looking forward to the time we can use the Cummins name.

I already posted this earlier but this may be relevant to this thread as well. There is a branson F4350 w/loader and only 30 hrs. on ebay for $12500 if anyone is interested.

I think the Yanmar powered unit my be and older unit. Kukje builds the whole tractor not just the engine.

The current Branson 4520 has a Yanmar 4TNE-88 4-cylinder engine, naturally aspirated, 45HP at 2600rpm. The other 10 and 20 series use Kukje engines. Dave

Dave, thank you
Why is it that the 4520 is not listed on the Kukje web site? All the other models are as well as the Century and Deere models they build.

Chipperman, a fine question...to which I don't have an answer! A lot of their literature that I have seems to interchange the 4320 and the 4520. Seems there has been a migration from the 4320 to the 4520...not sure though. I had 5 Branson's delivered today. The 3510 with R4's and a hoe and loader is a neat rig. This is my first load and I am impressed. The hoe subframe is well designed. The loader is quick detach, and so is the bucket. Pull one lever and the bucket is off. A lot of tractor for about $20K
