Awesome, that makes me feel better and good to know I wasn't the only one that didn't get an inner filter.

I bought a new Branson 5520H last year. When I did my 50 hour service I had only really been snow plowing so there was no dust or dirt at all, so the filter looked brand new still, so I didn't replace it. Today at around 90 hours I checked my filter because I have been bush hogging this summer...

I bought it from TractorCo in central WA. Most dealers either had no stock, or didn't seem very interested in my business.

Welp, I went ahead and made a deal on a 5520H with BH250 backhoe; with 3rd function and dual remotes. My 4015H has always had an amazingly strong loader but just wasn't quite heavy enough to back it up and this got me into a couple hairy situations. Also I want the extra weight for pushing...

I would love a 4 speed on my 4015H, middle range is half useless and low is slooooow.

Glad to hear the happy experience with the 4820, I'm shopping these two models and considering the 5520 just because of how much HP the hydro sucks up. I'm only at 2,000' so power loss would be 10-12% So much better than the 9,400' that I moved from in Colorado, everything without a turbo was...

I have had a 4015H for a couple years now, and have been happy with it. I want a backhoe for general use around the farm, and have been wanting something bigger and wider for more stability on my hilly place, as well as weight for pushing snow. So I'm in the market for a 4820H, or 5520H with...

I make it a point not to run at low RPM. Typically it only get used for loader work or snow plowing. When I use it I usually run the throttle up to 2000-2400 rpm. I don't think the fuel would be contaminated, it is stored inside and recently got a fresh tank of fuel and it's no different. I...

I have a Branson 4015H with just 62 hours, I bought it in Aug 2018 and it only gets used sporadically, otherwise kept in my shop. My engine is the most rough, course sounding diesel I have ever heard. My last tractor, a Bobcat CT440, (Kioti DK40SE) was smooth as could be. My engine has...

I bought a new Land Pride "medium duty" 1860 cutter and I used it all of 5 minutes before one of the blades snapped off and bent the other. My property is planted pines I am clearing out, and is loaded with stumps since it was thinned, and they are almost impossible to see so I can't cut the...

Just signed for a Branson 4015H with their new BL150 loader, with double rear remotes. I couldn't find anything in this smaller size that matched the Branson capability, especially for the money. This tractor is quite a bit smaller than their 20 series and 1000lbs lighter, but with the new...

Seems to be some confusion here. The DK50 is exactly the same as the DK40 minus the turbo, the DK50SE is a different beast with a different engine. The DK50 with the turbo 2.0 engine was made from 2001-2005 (4A200T) My Bobcat is basically the same as the DK40SE, which has been made since 2007...

Actually, I lied in the title, I want to turbo a Bobcat CT440 but it is exactly the same as a DK40SE. I am thinking of buying my Bobcat CT440 back from the friend I sold it to a year ago. The problem is I have since moved from 300' above sea level to about 8,500' in the mountains of CO, and...

Been doing alot of research for a tractor that will fit my needs. I want something smaller, but with a capable loader. But I also live at 8,500 ft now. This made me decide I want a turbo tractor or else be hit with a 30% power penalty due to thin air (been there in trucks and swapped a 5.0 for...

Hello all, Been here a while, I bought a Bobcat CT440 years ago and it was completely flawless in the 8 or so years I had it. About a year ago I sold it because I wasn't using it much at all in Alabama. But now I live in Colorado, and see myself really needing a tractor within a year or so...
