    snow removal

    So who's doing snow removal now with their tractors and what implements are you using. We're getting a hard snow today (late for here) and it's "supposed" to get up to 30" for the week. We'll see. I'm ready. Front plow and rear snowblower for the edges when the road starts to "narrow".....

    Winter is coming

    It's mid September and Winter is on the way so it's time to start getting ready for snow removal for those of us who live in the less temperate zones. I'm going to be using a 7ft rear mount snow blower and a 7ft hydraulic snow plow for the front. The road to my house is right at a mile from the...

    Hydraulic fluid

    Think I'll contact the Branson dealer I bought my tractor from and ask about the use of synthetic hydraulic fluids in our tractors. Has anyone checked on that or used it? Curious. I've become a believer in synthetic oils and that's what I use in my diesel engines, Valvoline 5-40 Blue to be...

    third function valve (continues)

    I have a couple other threads here in the last couple weeks as to my installing a third function kit on my 4020R Branson. I'm starting this new one because of an issue with fittings (perhaps not all Branson's have but there are many for sure) on the tractor and my "quest" to resolve the issue...

    joystick handle

    I have a Branson 4020R. This model has the joystick on the fender. I'm installing a 3rd function kit and need to replace current "knob" on the joystick with the one that comes with the kit that has the controls on it. I see no set screw or "cover cap" to remove to get to a bolt to remove this...

    3rd function valve connections

    I was going to just ask this question on the "other" thread I just started a couple days ago but thought maybe with a new thread I'd get a few more "looks"....easy question actually, the power beyond port on the loader valve has a kind of "connector" that the "original" hydraulic line attaches...

    3rd function valve

    For you fellas that have installed (or had installed) 3rd function kits on 35 or 40 series tractors, where and how was the valve placed. I have a 4020r and I have purchased a kit (I know where the hoses attach) but am having a bit of trouble deciding where to put the 3rd function valve. My 4020...

    Ordered a snow plow, questions.

    As stated, I just ordered a new 94 inch hydraulic quick attach snow plow. Branson 4020R tractor. I've been reading quite a bit about "proper" usage while plowing snow. Some say that using the float on the loader places to much down pressure and can cause steering issues. I understand the...

    Branson 4020R 50 hr service

    Just finished up the 50hr fluid changes on my Branson. Actually have 66hrs on it but did get the engine oil and filter change at 53hrs. along with the fuel filter. Due to all the snow and bad weather I finally got to the hydraulic system at 60hrs. Man, nine plus gallons of hyd fluid in 35...

    Branson 4020R

    Bought a new Branson 4020R last summer. Was out and about over in Bend, Oregon and stopped by a Branson dealer just to take a look. Well, after a bit a jaw boneing (nice fella) about tractors in general and Branson in particular, a good going over of the features with a "test drive" included we...
