New Branson 2515

[sd455dan]

So are they actually going to release this thing? This post is a year old but I haven't heard anything about this model.

I don't get it either, this model should sell Very well.
All the capacities of the 15 series.

Including an FEL that puts all other 25 hp CUT's to shame. total height and lift to full height at the pin.

larger displacement 25 hp engine with max power at ~`2200rpm

Virtually no emission system

Hydromax 3 range hydrostat with cruise control

540 and Economy PTO that is also fully independent

When we checked out the Bransons and LS tractors with family member last year- the dealer told me that at least 1 customer had ALREADY ordered a new 2515.

I took that to mean the buyers were told that the model would be shipped?

Funny, I am kind of in the same boat as far as brands I'm looking at as far as new tractors go anyways. Used is still on the table but people seem to have a different idea of their value than I do.

I'm trying to find out about the mythical 2515 from the dealer. I may hear something back tomorrow, I'm out of the country so I sent the email too late today. I'd be very interested if they do exist. I'm thinking that a MMM is probably out of the picture for me now, so its all about weight and capacity for the dollar at this point.

That seems to be a problem in much of the nation lately. When I was looking for a larger tractor a few years ago the few good condition used machines were priced close to new. According to Neil from Messicks (he makes excellent videos) there's simply a lot of people who want tractors.

I was told that there was issues with the emissions and that it's on indefinite hold. It's a mythical unicorn for now, kind of like the CK2610 and CK3510 Kioti's with MMM.

Thanks for the info. That's interesting though, because under 25 HP, it doesn't need any emission stuff added to the engine.

yeah I don't know about what is required and how things get certified. I'm sure the government still regulates the under 25hp engines too, just not sure what the requirements are. This is just information I was given by someone that supposedly works for Branson. It could be complete BS too.

There's Tier 4 emissions limits under 25.5hp, they're just easier to meet than above 25.5. To the point where DPF or DOC or EGR is not needed with current designs. Just combustion chamber shape and injection timing. There's another step at 75hp and that's where EGR and DEF is often used.

I don't understand why manufacturers can't put all the goodies on smaller tractors. The 2515h will not have tilt or extendable ends on the lower arms. It aggravates me to no end. I want all of the good stuff from the larger tractors. One thing that concerns me is will 25HP be enough to handle a heavier frame and loader??

Where did you get that info? I'm pretty sure the engine is one of the few changes versus the other higher HP models.

Anyways, I've seen dealers saying the it might come out in the end of the month or the next one.
