New Branson 3620H

[tcburke]

I took delivery of a 3620R Tuesday and put ~8 hrs on it yesterday moving brush. I have the dual rear remotes and 1 does have a detent. I've only observed two issues so far. First, the engine rattles like the valves are loose at about 2200 RPM, which the interwebs seems to indicate may be somewhat normal. I'm open to others' input/experience on that. Still a bit disconcerting in comparison to the other diesels I have. Also, whoever installed the loader valve and 3d function diverter added additional O-rings under the ORB adapters in addition to the ones actually in the flanges, so I have various seeps to contend with. These extra O-rings look to be about 1/2-5/8" vs the 3/8" thread on the adapters. I discovered this when I saw the first seep and figured it was just a loose adapter. I got about half a turn and saw O-ring squeezing out from under the flange. Gotta wonder what the installer was thinking.

Congrats on the new tractor.

Regarding the noise, yes, we have two or three threads about that on this forum trying to figure out what the noise is. Seems to affect only the A1700 3 cylinder engine. We had members adjusting the valve lash that resulted in no influence on the noise.

Mine does it too, but so far 240 hours with 0 problems.

Got my remotes installed. I haven't got detent to work right (keeps slipping back to center) assuming I still need to do some adjusting.

Does the new 3620h come with a set of rear remotes standard or do you have to have dealer add them?

Does not come standard. I added them (part#RMK2-02), and just so you know it was a simple bolt on with no additional fluid required. Now I'm thinking about a "tip and tilt". Do the add-ons never end on these things?

Oh ok awesome. I just read back through this thread and now I see what you did. I got confused I guess, lol. Yeah there is so much you can add and modify to these things it looks like!! How do you like the tractor so far? I just got quoted a great price with delivery on one of these with the bh.

 

[Raines]

oh another question. Did the thumb come with your bh or did you have to add it?

I found a chart showing the 3 speed vs 4 speed gear differences.

So far the tractor has been all I wanted and more. Now I want more implements! Next on the list is a box scraper and brush hog. The thump I got was just the thump.. manually set in position by me. Now that I think about it I should have had the dealer add the hydraulics to it. I got over 10hrs on one tank (mostly backhoe and dirt work) and really didn't need to fill it. The dealer sent me that chart as well. No issues so far. And did I mention this tractor looks cool!?

Just an FYI for those who care. Rumor has it that the new 20 series tractors are missing/may not be included stone guards for the steering rack. Mine didn't come with them and I've read in another thread of another. I let my dealer know and he sent them to me.
