What have you done to your Branson today?

[Branson Bob]

I posted a new video in Youtube.

Here's the link:

Not my Branson, but grabbed some shots of the new 3515Ch that was sitting at my dealer; they finally got some inventory in, and there she was.

No, lol, haven't sold my Deere yet; someone is coming out today to look at it though, so who knows!

(Yesterday) I got my new ditch bank flail mower set up and running! Very happy. I have a question though... On the tach it has marks for "540 RPM PTO 1st" and "540 PTO RMP 2nd"... Can't find anything in the manual about running the PTO. What RPM should I be using?

If I remember correctly, the 2515's don't have 540E and the engine is derated to 2100 or 2200 RPMs compared to 2600 RPMs on the higher HP models to achieve the 25HP. So, you should get 540 RPM at the PTO, right at 2100/2200 engine RPM.

That looks like a nice flail mower.

Nice looking flail mower, I need to finish getting mine ready to use. If your tractor doesn't have the economy mode or a multi speed pto
whatever engine speed gives you 540 rpm on the pto.

It looks from the web site that they rate the HP at 2100 rpm. It's possible that it really can turn faster and they did not regear the PTO to match the lower rpm. But if they did, then they really should have changed the markings on the tach. Unless you have a contact tachometer to test it yourself, I'd ask Daves, they'll know.

Ahh, thanks! So that is how they turn the 2515 down to 25 hp! Very happy with the flail mower, doing a great job for me. It's the Titan 57". The weight is nothing for the tractor, but it does bog down in 2' high wet green grass. if I mow it more often I should be able to fly through it!
