Fellow Branson owners, I have a 5220r with just over 100 hours. Today I was doing some grapple work stacking tree limbs in a burn pile. It was regular work like I致e completed many times previously. What got my attention was when I parked the tractor in the barn. I noticed I had some fluid...

Branson 5220r FEL issue - RESOLVED Hello everyone, I have an issue with the front end loader of my 5220r. The past few days I have been disking so I have not used my loader much at all. Today I needed to pick up some branches and that is when I realized my loader would not go higher than 18-24...

I have read several posts here about widening the rear tires on my 5220R. My tractor has a dish/rim combo that allows the most flexibility for width. Since I have not done this before, I wanted to seek validation before I tackle this task. Once widened, I will fill the tires with a 50% window...

It is time for my 50 hour service. I plan to complete the project next weekend. The one thing holding me back is refilling the 9.7 gallons of transmission/hydraulic fluid. I do not want to hold the five gallon buckets to pour in the little hole in the rear of the tractor. (I believe this is a...

I don't believe my FEL is getting the stated lift. I have a 5220R with the BL25R loader. I understand the factory rating (2100lbs) is taken at the pivot pins and I using a front grapple with the tractor, but is there a way to check the pressure and adjust the relief valve? I just don't believe...

I'm having trouble trying to disengage 4wd on my 5220. I put the L-M-N-H in neutral, shuttle is in neutral and the gear selector is in neutral and I can't get it to budge. I don't want to put too much force on it because I've been known to break stuff, but, I want to switch it to rear wheel...

Community, I need help to identify a replacement coolant for my 5220R. The manual calls for a D4985 compatible coolant, however the governing body recommended in 2016 to mark this coolant as obsolete and discontinued. They claim it addition of SCAs causes it to have a very high silicate...

I was surfing YouTube for info on Branson tractors and found a review, in a different language, on the F47R. The unit had a self-leveling bucket and factory quick attach (think Pat's quick attach) rear lift arms. Both are super sweet! I didn't see a self leveling bucket when I got my 5220R, and...

Howdy all, I am a new member from NE Oklahoma, outside Tulsa. I have used the forum to help answer questions about my old Massey MF50 and make my most recent purchase of a new Branson 5220R. I look forward to participating in the group. /Jesse

Hello all, My name is Jesse and I'm the proud owner of a new 5220R. I purchased the tractor with a FEL, a Grapple and a dealer installed 3rd function diverter. I also ordered a factory service manual as I'm a geek who likes to know everything I can. I traded in my 1957 Massey MF-50. It served...
