What have you done to your Branson today?

[Slowpoke Slim]

Pictures came out great. Thanks. What did you use for the source of the screen material? I would like to do something similar. I like where you put your air cleaner assembly. Unfortunately, that's right where my soot cooker sits on my 25 series.

Used regular metal screen for Windows. Couple pieces of flat stock and a piece of angle for the top. Welded it together and cleaned it good and used JB weld to attach the screen. Used spray boom to paint. I moved the air box because I got tired of moving it all the time to clean the condenser when bush hogging.lots of crap would cover it and the temp would go up and air wouldn't work as good. Now it's easy to clean. The soot cooker fell off the first winter and I thought that's a good place for the air cleaner.

Removed the right side step and installed an "ammo can tool box" in it's place on my 4020R as I've seen done here. Don't quite understand why in the world Branson didn't (doesn't) put a tool box on these things. Anyway, now have a place for a few useful tools and extra pins that you always end up needing when you get at least a half mile from the shop.....

My 2012 4020R has a tool box on the left side ahead of the fuel tank. Youre's doesn't?

Haven't did anything to it today but have been thinking and sometimes that really a bad thing for me to do. But for the last couple of summers I been think of tinting the windows of the cab. In the summer with the air even running and the sun beating thru the windows what ever side the sun is on it gets hot on the legs and arms and I think it will help lots having them tinted somewhat. Has anyone done this to theirs or had a pro to do it. I don't think it would take maybe a half hour or so to get doors and side and back Windows out and take them to a tinting place. Tractor will probably be parked for a while. Just have 4 approx 900 lbs steers and 40 chickens to feed. No round bales to feed. Got a trailer full of square bales and I just take out about a half a bale at a time and a couple pales of grain twice a day. Would be a good time to get this done. Never tinted anything so any expert direction I would be greatful for.

Nope....no tool box came on it. Does have a nifty double cup holder with a small space in that piece for (?) on the left fender. I guess Branson figures it's more important to have a place to "hold" a cup of coffee (or whatever) than to have a place to carry something actually useful for tractor and implement work. Go figure. I've had the tractor for about a year and a half (130hrs), haven't used the cup holder yet.....

Think today I'll go out and unhook the Land Plane and hook up my new WoodMaxx snowblower and park it in the shop. May as well get ready, it's that time of year again....had a short flurry this morning.

Branson needs to design a factory tool box. Who all thinks so? Need to hear from people like you in order to make it happen.

I sure wish my 3725 had a toolbox.

I do use the cup holders. One usually has a water bottle in it, the other holds a rag... which would be in the tool box if I had one.

I would like a tool box, sure, as long as it's reasonably out of the way, but can still reach it.

And I use my cup holders for eh, "cold beverages" or even coffee.

We're all different in the way we (can) do things of course. But I will say when I'm operating the tractor (or any equipment or tools) I'm generally to busy to enjoy a "cold beverage". Coffee would just get cold as well. I learned a long time ago (for me) I can either work on a project or I can have a (or a few) "beverages", just not both at the same time. After the work is done, well, okay then......:confused2:
