Was quoted $23,850 for a Branson 2910i with BL10A FEL and a 7620 backhoe? Is this price to high or to low or about right?
Thanks
Randy

2 years ago I bought a 3820 with FEL B/H 6ft finish mower & a 5ft bush hog for $23500 this was out the door deliverd to
IL from IN. no sales tax.
Keep in mind this was 2 years ago, I got a bigger tractor plus
2 mowing decks for less money..
I'm sure there has been a price increase, I'd shop around a bit .
Also a good dealer near by is a big plus!
Good luck.

That's probably a fair price. The backhoe alone is worth 6 grand!

Price sounds fair to me as well,A Brushhog would be 700-1200 depending on make and model,Finish mower would be 1600-1900

Redneck Randy,
I received a price about 10 days ago from a dealer in your neck of the woods in Depew OK.
He priced me the larger frame Century 38HP C38L with the C50 loader and C76 backhoe for $20,500, it was not an "i" model. I dont know if he still has it or not as I bought a C38L and C50 loader from him and he may have just removed the BH from my tractor, I didnt ask. He also had a Century 35HP C35 and C50 loader(way heavier than that BL10) and he priced it at $15,500. IF he removed the BH from my tractor I am sure he would be happy to install it on the C35 for you, I am not sure if it would interchange between the 2 different size tractors or not, you would just have to ask.The dealer was fantastic, he is a Branson dealer now and did tell me that Branson is picking up the warranties on the Centuries. If you are interested drop me a PM and I will give you their contact information.
Good Luck, Hal.

Hi halw,
I meet Dan the owner from Green Country and looked over the Branson's at his place. Nice clean dealership he has to and Dan is a very nice easy going person. Very friendly to. I would have bought from Dan because I really like the build quality of the Branson's but it's something a member here at the forum stated when I started my research to buy a new tractor and was thinking of getting something other then the BIG 2 (IE & JD) "Here today Gone tomorrow" I went through that with my Rhino International. Not again.
So, I bought me a New Holland TC53A
Thanks for the input all!

Redneck Randy,
I understand what you are saying about the success of different companies, probably most that come and go are just importers or distributors of someone elses product and dont give 100% support. I, like you took the advice of other TBN'ers and went in the other direction, in the past you couldnt have given a Toyota or Honda away but look at them now. Now that Branson is owned and distributed by "Mother" I just wish I had stock in the company. I decided to go with the Kukje because it was a heavier tractor than any of the others I looked at, and figured I had better get one now before the prices start to reach the Big 3's prices.
I predict that both of us will have way too much fun on our new tractors no matter what the make is.
Happy digging, H.

There are a large number of companies selling "compact" tractors in the USA-----probably getting to be too many--but the market size is huge. We will probably see some consolidation (read --buyouts/takeovers) in the near future.
As I am writing this:
1) Montana is trying to buy Farmtrac--not too significant since neither one actually manufactures the compacts/engines.
2)Ingersoll Rand/Bobcat is rumored to be buying Daedong/Kioti---this could be significant since Daedong actually manufactures the tractors/engines. (I predict that this will happen--if it has not already.)
The point I am trying to make is, that there are only three companies,that I am aware of, (other than the Chinese ones) ,that manufacture the ENTIRE tractor including the engines, that actually market AND sell compacts here in the US, on their own,---Branson/Kukje, Kioti/Daedong, and Kubota.
All the rest buy their compact tractor engines from these three plus several other engine manufactures, mostly in Japan---(Mitsibushi,Shibaru,Yanmar,etc.)
I agree with halw---I think Branson/Kukje/Dongkuk Steel (parent co) is here for the long haul---they have a ways to go to catch-up from a marketing standpoint---but they are heading in the right direction, and the product quality is second to none.(IMHO, of course /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Very well said dancce. Guarantees are really only as good as the dealership. The dealer is the liason for the customer so he has the ability to make buying and servicing/repairing a very enjoyable experience or absolute misery. I am confident Branson is here to stay as well as my dealer. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
