    Engine block heater

    I didn't get a chance to install mine as I just sold my Branson and got a Mahindra. It involves removing a plug on the block and installing the heater. Have to drain the anti freeze first. I have one for a Kukje A sries engine if that is what you have in yours. 75 dollars shipped to you. Brand new.

    woods BH9000 bucket

    I may be selling my Woods BH90X soon as I cannot get a subframe mount for my Mahindra I just bought and I don't want to 3 point hitch mount it. The 90X took the place of the 9000 and I believe the difference is it has the curved boom. It has probably 100 hours of use and has a subframe mount for...

    Mahindra 2655 comments

    Do you have a Mahindra hoe or other brand? i Have a Woods BH90X but Woods does not make a subframe for the Mahindras. I don't think mounting it to the three point would be a good idea.

    Mahindra 2655 comments

    I pulled the plug yesterday. Lack of DPF and DEF made the final choice a bit easier. Not gonna be used hard. Just around the 8 acres for firewood and mostly snow plowing and driveway maintainance .

    TYM 494 or Branson 4820

    I also considered these two and can say you made the right choice. I have had my3820i for 15 years with no problems. The engine is flawless and smooth, and the entire tractor is heavy duty.

    Mahindra 2655 comments

    Very close to buying a 2020 Mahindra 2655 with just over a hundred hours. Anyone have any reasons why I should stay away from this model or brand. Never had a Mahindra before, but the emission setup on this tractor makes it very desirable to me.

    Cheap heat for uncabbed tractor plus intake preheat?

    I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm out plowing snow, it's my hands that get cold. I wish someone would make heated steering wheel like cars have. Shouldn't be that hard. Just a steering wheel and a bunch of adapters for various tractors. I'll take the first one. Heated covers need to...

    Looking at Bad Boy Tractors, thoughts?

    When I bought my Branson 15 years ago everyone on this site said we were fools for buying an off brand that would soon be out of business and leave us high and dry. I have never had one problem with my Branson and my dealer is still here and parts are easy to come by. Now I am thinking of...

    Branson glow plug discussion

    I get mine straight from Cummins. They are not as expensive as going thru Branson. Just get the one for the A2300 engine. Try googling them not mentioning Branson but using Cummins.i

    T494 vs 4820

    I'm looking at the same two tractors with cabs and the Branson is my choice because of the build quality and the fact that I have had my 3820i for 15 years with no problems at all. I just want a cab for winter plowing and the 3820i is in great shape with 1000 hours. The Branson is a beast and I...

    What causes a circle of dead lawn grass?

    From my experience it is dollar spot or brown patch or something similar and you need to treat it with a fungicide. May take more than one treatment. It can be spread to other areas of your lawn by just mowing. I prefer liquid treatment to granular.

    Branson brand to be discontinued?

    After talking to my dealer today he says everything is tight lipped but everything seems to point to keeping the Branson line and rebadging them as TYM, They definatly wanted the engines, manufacturing capabilities and Branson reliability and build quality.
