Getting ready to change my hydraulic filter and plan to use the shop vac trick. I see in my manual that I also need to change my HST filter. I assume the hydraulics and HST share the same fluid. Do I need to also use the shop vac trick when changing the HST filter? Also can anyone confirm...

I can't help it. Two pumps ain't enough. I don't feel comfortable that I have properly greased a zerk until I see lots of red grease on both sides of the pin. My 18v Dewalt grease gun make this easy. What do you over-greasers do with all that grease? Leave it to collect dirt? Spend an hour...

I though I would start a thread about the new LS MT3 premium series cab tractors. I've had my MT357HC for a week now and have 19 hours on it. I love it. I just received the manual today and hope to have the service manual when it is available. The hydro version of these tractors has what is...

I bought this in March from my local Kubota dealer. I went with the 25 series because of the rocky soil that we have. It's rated up to 90hp. My salesman told me that "you cannot hurt a 25 series". Well even though I love the way it grades and scrapes the perimeter around our place the...

Dealer told me the width on my tractor with Industrial R4s is about 72" but after looking up the specs and reading on here I suspect it is 66" wide. My Branson 4020 open frame tractor that I just sold has R4s with the rear rims at the widest setting right at 73". Tires are filled. My new...

I'm interested to know what people have paid for their XR4155HC or XR4150HC. I'm thinking of buying an MT357HC which is the replacement for the XR4155HC and identical from what I have heard. Thanks.

Pretty sure I am going to get a new cab tractor. I've been speaking with the owner of Yellowstone Tractor Company and he has been very helpful. Even traveled a couple hours out of his way to check out my trade. I can get the MT357HC for $35,800 or the MT357HC for $31,800. So I need to decide...

I'm trading in my 2002 Branson 4020 for an LS tractor. My 4020 loader has the Branson proprietary quick attach. I have a Titan pallet fork frame with Branson QA hooks welded on it. My new tractor is skid steer quick attach so I need to buy a new pallet frame. I have $573 in the frame, hooks...

Only 39.9 hours and from the photos looks new. Dealer will deliver for free and take my 2002 Branson 4020 on trade for $8,500. So 20k difference. Dealer says owner bought different property and is downsizing to a 25hp tractor. We have 40 acres at 5,100' elevation. Will use to grade 1/3 mile...

Wyoming dealer is quoting me 34k cash price out the door and delivered for an NX4510 Cab (shuttle not HST) with Rim Guard ballast in the rears, KL6010 loader with 72" QA bucket, Grill guard, bucket edge and CD player. Looking to see what others have paid. Thanks.

I have a 2002 Branson 4020 which is a 40hp turbo with 68.8" rear wheelbase. I need a grader scraper bad and plan to buy one tomorrow. Kubota dealer is recommending the GS2572 but I'm also thinking about the GS1572. Weight difference is 180lbs. GS2572 is rated for 40hp to 90 hp and the GS1572...

Hey guys. I've been mowing my 3/4 acre residential lawn with an LX277 AWS for the last 13 years. 48c deck with mulch kit. It's been a great machine and mows really well. I have the itch to upgrade. Any reason to shy away for an X754 for residential use? It has 1,150 hours which I know is...

I have a 2002 Branson tractor with the Branson quick attach systems which works great but is a pain to find attachments. Since I will only be using forks in addition to my bucket it's not worth the time, hassle and expense to convert to SSQA. I think I am going to buy the JD forks shown below...

I bought a 2002Branson 4020 with the BL20 loader. After looking it over real close one of the loader pins is not the correct size. Two of the loader pins appear to be custom made but are the correct size. The remaining pins are original parts. The parts manual shows Pin, part no: ALK...

I bought a 2002 4020 with the BL20 loader. After looking it over real close it looks like three out of the twelve loader pins are no the correct size. The parts manual shows Pin, part no: ALK 28-98-1160 Photo attached showing proper pins (and the round one is the incorrect pin). Any...

I was doing some electrical troubleshooting on my new to me 4020 and I pulled the fuel pump fuse so I wouldn't drain the battery. Forgot to install the fuse and the tractor started and ran just fine. Is the fuel pump only for priming?

My '02 LX277 with Kawasaki air cooled twin has never given me any problems. Was mowing the other day and it suddenly quit making full power. I changed the fuel filter, plugs and adjusted the valves (all valves were loose). Put Seafoam in the tank. My tractor will make full power until it is...

I bought a used 2002 4020 and have been going through it. Can't get the blinkers to work. Tail, brake and reverse lights all work. I'm assuming the blinkers are the amber part of the tail lights. I don't have the round flasher lights. I have confirmed the bulbs are good, the 15a fuse is...

Just bought a used Branson 4020. 2002 model. I spoke with the original owner and he said the original selling dealer in Sullivan, Missouri filled the rear tires. He is not sure with what. I'll know more when I pick it up Friday but I believe the fluid is a milky white substance. Not sure if...

I'm buying a Branson 4020 tractor from a Branson dealer. Dealer has an older Aarps 720 backhoe that fits on the 3pt and has it's own pump. Everything works as it should and I have confirmed internal parts and cylinders are still available. My dealer is also a farmer and says he has done a...

I purchased an '02 Branson 4020 with loader and backhoe and plan to tow it 1,200 miles to our future retirement home. Will be on good interstate the majority of the time with no big elevation passes (I-90 across SD; WY and MT). Tow vehicle will be my 2015 Chevy 3/4 ton Crew Cab 4x4 Diesel...

Not a lot of info on converting my 4020 to SSQA. Mine is a 2002 model. I understand they now come standard with SSQA. I don't want to use an adapter that adds weight and puts the bucket out farther. Are there any options for a straight conversion? If not, does Branson make blank plates that...

I bought a 2002 Branson 4020 that I will pick up in about 10 days. It has a BL20 FEL and it also has an older back hoe with it's own pump as well as a new 5' box blade. The FEL is not SSQA. It's the older Branson style. My dealer will sell me a new set of clamp on forks for $100 I know...

Thinking about buying a 2002 Branson 4020. I would like to read the operators and/or service manual before traveling four hours to see it. All I can find is the 2016 4020r manual which has a different motor. My email is bamick@amicklawkc.com if somebody can help. Thanks.

I have 40 acres at 5,100 feet in Montana. Sage brush and lots of big rocks in the ground. No trees. About 1.5 acres have been cleared of sage brush for my building and I have put some gravel down but have a lot more to do. I'm looking at a 2002 Branson 4020 with 650 hours. The seller is a...

I'm thinking of making an offer on a 1610d with a Koyker 110 loader. Everything seems to work as it should and it rides nice (although I have no experience to compare it to). Both of the front wheel hubs are leaking as is the front differential. Enough that I could see spots on the gravel...

I'm considering a 2005 Farm Pro 2425 that is a reasonable distance from me. 4x4 model and they say it's all works and has manuals. 712 hours. Mower not included but I don't need a mower. Is $3,500 a good price? Looks like it needs a little cleaning.

I'm looking at a 2000 model year LB1914 4x4. Seller said he bought it at an estate sale and it is in excellent condition with 325 hours. No attachments. Is this considered a gray market tractor? I can probably get it for right at $4,000 Thoughts? Thanks.

I'm new to these forums so I apologize if my question is common knowledge. Any of you guys ever split a container of tractors? I have the class A price list for compact tractors from bestusedtractors.com I'm interested in the Mitsubishi D2050 but there are 27 different models on the list...

The wife and I bought 38 acres of remote property in Carbon County, Montana. We put up a 2400 sq ft. barn with a small living quarters and hope to retire up there down the road. Property is at 5100 ft and is small sagebrush. Area is a very dry climate and ground is very rocky. We did 2x6...

Hi from Carbon County, MT. Bought some remote property in Montana and thinking of getting a tractor. I'll be asking questions and hopefully helping some. My experience with diesels is my Chevy Truck and a military generator with a Lister Perkins twin diesel.
