If you have a set of pallet forks, buy one of those caged 270 gal totes. You can usually find them on CL for 35-75 bucks. Remove the 4 bolts holding the top bars on and pull the plastic tank out. Strap the cage (I use a 2" ratchet - way overkill) to the forks. You now have a man basket for...

I had a 2010 3510i that I loved dearly, but was forced to sell in 2014. Bought a 2015 TYM 353HST because no Branson dealers in WI had a tractor on the lot to look at, let alone buy. While the TYM has served me well, my daughter and her husband recently bought 25 wooded acres and built a house...

Hey all! I have a 3-Point Cat 1 Counterweight that I need to unload. The box is made of 1/8 steel and has internal cross bracing. The top-link mount is welded to the back side of the weight, and it’s about 48” tall. I put about 28 - 60# bags of concrete in it so it weighs right around a ton...

Ordered it yesterday from Jenkins Iron & Steel out of Minnesota. 6 footer for my 35hp TYM. www.jenkinsironandsteel.com Free shipping included, and it was priced $600 less than a locally sold bucket made by the QuickAttach folks. Dealt with Adam, and he proved to be a real joy to work with...

Starting to think that maybe I should of kept my Branson 3510i. Hydraulic fitting broke 10 days ago under seat, resulting in about 2 gallons of fluid loss, and a bunch of dead grass. Called dealer and texted pics of leaking fitting. Dealer promised to get parts on the way, and I agreed to...

Good morning all. I've searched the forum without much luck, so here goes... Time for the 50 hour service and I have some ??? 353 HST with the 4 cyl Mitsubishi engine - Oil capacity is? Using Rotella T6 Synthetic 5W40. Dealer told me to just change the hyd filter as the fluid is still fine...

Thought I'd finally post a couple pics of the new mower mounted on the tractor. Yes I know - the PTO shaft is not yet attached...It'll be a couple months before I do any cutting with it! :)

Never seems to work out the way you planned it. Was planning to get another Branson (4520R), but had issues finding one locally that was free of the Tier-4 crap. Ended up getting a TYM T353HST - Same hp as the 3510i that I sold... Looking forward to the new ownership experience, especially...

T353HST being delivered on Friday afternoon. Was going to go with another Branson, but had difficulty getting a new unit locally without the Tier - 4 emissions crap. Was planning to go bigger (had a 3510i previously), but ultimately went with another 35hp unit. Really impressed with the TYM...

Best thing I ever bought was a Markham light-duty root grapple. With a new tractor (Branson 4520R) on the way, I plan to buy another. Should I stick with NAI (Markham Welding), or are there others that you would recommend? Looking for recommendations. Thoughts? Thx Lunk

Sold it all at 300 hrs. New 4520R on the way. It will be mine a month or so from now. :)

I've had my 3510i for over 4 yrs now. Love it and the 300+ hours of worry-free service it's given me. One thing I'd like to do is go to a wider tire up front. Can anyone tell me if a set of 27 x 10.5 -15. tires will fit on the stock rims? The tractor currently has 27 x 8.5 - 15 R-4's up front...

I've always used a large bucket on my tractor for snow removal with good results - Just a bit irritating to always have a windrow of snow to clean up. Last Spring I pulled the trigger on an brand new 84" FEL Plow with twin hydraulic rams and universal QA Plate for 1500 bucks. Iron Horse brand...

Buying a new trailer. I've gotten prices on a pair of 20', 5 ton tandem axle utility trailers. One is a hydraulic tilt-bed (manual pump), and the other is a standard 5 ton channel frame non-tilting, with 4' fold up knee ramps. Prices are actually within a couple hundred bucks. Any...

Probably heavier built than many / heavier overall. Nice features for the money. Decent sized operator platform, with a large, low-mounted fuel tank which eases fueling, and helps lower the center of gravity. The loaders are generally spec'd a little higher than some similar-sized...

This last weekend, I got the notion to head out to the woods to check a trail cam for deer photos. The snow cover around here has settled a lot, and I figured - What could happen??? Well - Needless to say, I sank my 85 K20 Chevy (6 inches of lift, rear locker, sitting on 37" Goodyear MT's) when...

I know this has probably been covered, but the Search fuction is not working for me today... I've completed the 100 hr service, and am ready to replace the fuel filter element, but have a couple questions. The owner's manual was pretty vague on this (surprise!), and I want to do it right. It...

Montana Tractors: Tractor Manufacturer of Farm, Compact, Agricultural, Sub Compact & Utility Tractors, Implements & Attachments. It looks as if Montana has hijacked the entire Branson / Kukje line, and even some additional series (3110???)! I think this will benefit Branson owners everywhere...

Not only is my Branson supposedly worthy of the ten-foot pole treatment, but now I find out in the Kubota Forum that the loader (built by Ansung) is "outright crap." Why you ask??? - Because apparently "they build basicly two loaders are fit them to tractors they don't nessesarily belong on."...

I just read in another thread that a Branson should "not be touched with a ten-foot pole." Personal opinion no doubt. I know a guy who just bought an L3400 Gear drive that checked out my Branson 3510i just the other day. Liked the platform layout better, the tilt wheel, lower fuel tank fill...

No - I don't have any pics yet (I don't even own a digital camera, so I will have to enlist the kids help to post some). It arrived yesterday afternoon, along with my new toothbar. Came with 6' hoses, and about 4' of abrasion resistant sleeving installed. Wow - Those Markham folks sure know...

A while back I posted about the front tires on my 3510i cracking around the lugs. It came back from the dealer yesterday (complimentary 50 hr service, including 64 miles hauling...) with two new complimentary Titan fronts on it. They appear to be a little different tread-wise than the...

My tractor is having a pair of rear remotes installed. I intend to use them to power the 60" LD Grapple Rake I just ordered from Markham. Some members refer to using a single rear remote to plumb the hydraulics, while others make it sound as if you need two - One to extend, and one to retract...

Hi All, I noticed an extra plug on the left side of my loader's joystick control. It currently has a factory installed plug in it. Some members have commented about "power-beyond" ports / valves, and having a "3rd function" capability in their loader controls. Do we as Branson owners have...

Today's the day! We got about 3 inches of wet snow overnight, with a chance of more this afternoon. I can't wait to get home and plug the tractor in to warm it up. This will be a milestone day for me as I'm going to attempt to plow snow for the first time with: * 6' snow bucket and 6' box...

It finally dried out enough for me to make a couple passes around the bean-field yesterday. I was impressed. Set the PTO to Indep, 540E, and ran it at about 1800 RPM. I was cutting 4' marsh grass and heavy weed growth in 4th gear, range 2, and the tach never budged of 1800 RPM the whole time...

Hi all. I have a new Branson 3510i that hasn't seen 50 hours yet. The farmer that tills our property has agreed to sell me off-road diesel at his cost, cash and carry. The other day I picked up 15 gal (5gal went right into tractor) at $4.11 gal. Later on that night, he called me to let me know...

When I purchased my tractor, I noticed another unit on the lot that had some pretty serious cracking in the sidewalls of the R-4 fronts. Mentioned it to dealer - Response was that they'd had some issues with that, and were replacing them under warranty. I believe tire brand was Titan. Anyways...

Hi All, I've been lurking here for a few years now, and finally found a reason to post. After 3 yrs of looking and drooling, this last Saturday I took delivery of a 2008 3510i with a FEL, and a new Befco 6' BB. After using an 8N, a TO-35, and a '65 2000, it feels great to have such a...
