Branson BRANSON4720I Reviews

Run Away Motor
Model Year: 2008

I was bush hogging yesterday and finished a couple places and was going to another field when my brother stopped and told me to cut his field. When I started my 4720i back, it run away. I tried the ignition switch, I tried turning off fuel shut off at filter base, finally I smothered it out at air filter. I hope it didn't ruin my engine, it got so hot so quick, it boiled water out in seconds. I think injector pump went bad that quick. It will start and run with vice grips on the fuel line restricting the flow.

Pros: I really like my 4720i just right size for me with 4x4.
Cons: Parking brake is unhandy spot.

4720i Branson with 8620 Backhoe
Model Year: 2011

Overall, a good medium sized tractor. I believe Branson plumbed these with cheap hydraulic lines, needing to replace several of them, some by warranty, some since the warranty ran out. Bought this to clear trees, the backhoe is a disappointment, does not have the power to dig tree roots, is only good for digging in soft dirt.

Pros: Looks good, handles fairly well.
Cons: Engine cowling fasteners cheap, causing rattles.

Branson Tractors
Model Year: 2007

This tractor has been a reliable work horse. Use it for haying and general farm work. It pulls our 10 ft. hydro swather fine but am looking to purchase a 12 ft. and need a bigger tractor. Very happy with the Branson.

Pros: Value!
Cons: Trade in value?

Tank on Wheels
Model Year: 2006

After looking at a bunch of other tractors, my wife and I stopped and looked at the Branson tractors for the first time. At the time, we were impressed by the quality and the reasonable price. We purchased a loader and backhoe for the tractor, and brought it home. 5 years and 700 Hrs. later, I would not hesitate to purchase another Branson tomorrow. I have done things with this machine that would cripple others like it, or should I say ones trying to be like it.

Pros: Everything from the front to rear.
Cons: Nothing yet.

Awesome Tractor to Date
Model Year: 2008

I have experience zero failures with my 2008 4720i and I have not pampered it. I use it basically for mowing, logging type work (Clearing woods), and maintaining an old lake dam, which has required a considerable amount of dirt moving. I could not be more pleased with it's performance as a compact tractor. The cummings "A series" cloned engine, frame weight and strength, has proved itself over and over to me. I've made an excellent purchase. Dealer support and my e-mail responses from Branson's assembly plant in Rome, GA have always be excellent.

Pros: Engine and frame weight and strength.
Cons: None to date.
