I checked out the Branson. Overall it is good. My only concerns are some hydraulic creep in the loader and there is a small oil leak, I can smell the burning oil. It may be leaking from the front seal and from the pan by the oil filter. Told him my concerns and that I would call this evening. No one else is looking today. He has had others look but limited interest because of the lack of dealers in the area. I really appreciate any feedback.

Maybe shoot him an $11,000 or $11,500 offer?

Dealer support is a critical factor in a purchase decision, no support equals big hassles in the future.

The guy could not come off the price but is throwing in a 6 cutter, that I need to buy anyway. My local Massey dealer services all brands and I have a friend in the business that can get the parts I need if it becomes a problem. For the value I plan to move cautiously forward. Thanks for all the help and advice.

There are several members here very happy with their 20 series tractor.

With a bit of research, you can get any part you need or a good dealer that will ship whatever you need to you.

That doesn't look too bad of a price, specially with the mower included.

It's a very robust and solid machine.

Getting parts is is important dont matter how you get it fixed. I am kind of a DIY mechanic and thats kind of why I steered away from the off brands per say, not to say they arent good machines. Just if I need to get parts, i want to be able to get them. Nice thing though is the internet is a great tool to find just about anything and its unlikely brands closer over night. I dont really purchase things in my mind to last me a life time dont matter what it is. Sure that 12 year old hammer might last me till I die, but anything machinery based, I just dont see it.

If you have a dealer within an hour that is about as close as most of us are to a dealer. Branson builds a good tractor.
