I finally decided to make a stop for my 3 pt on 3515ch. Now, it is a bit rough as the only tools I had were hacksaw, file and drill. I used 1/8" x 1-1/2" aluminum bar stock. I stacked the base pieces together and created a moveable stop piece. The base pieces are ~ 6-1/2" long. I have used to...

That is a good point as well

Thanks guys; but wait why does it have a DOC when that is not required since it is under 26 hp? So, are people buying the 2515 under the assumption there is no emissions? Asteral, you think they are trying to streamline parts, have to wonder if new muffler for 2515 is same for say the 3515. That...

I know some have swapped out the tier 4 muffler setup for a I think a Stanley muffler. Well, I thought I would see what a 2515 muffler would cost as an alternative to this approach on a 3515 for a what if scenario.... Well that was a short lived thought as the muffler for 2515 is ~$1,200! Does...

Interesting the replies here and honestly I posted this more as a public service announcement. Those who wish to criticize no problem go for it since they are not high on my priority. It is funny though how those who want be critical state they don't post similar situations so others might learn...

Use a 55 gallon drum with hand pump in the drum. It also has an inline fuel filter. I built a small enclosure for the drum and I have a lift strap on the drum and use the loader to put it in the truck when need to get fuel.

ptsg, no worries and agree not a fan of that style, so went with the older style and modified it. I can't believe how thin those new style are, probably cheaper to manufacturer. Branson Bob, sorry the battery is the original.

Branson Bob, the tractor is 2019 and purchased new. Uh, 5030, yes I own up to ignoring the terminals and they are fixed properly now; but don't not a fan of the attitude.

Thought I would post this as an FYI to check battery terminals. I had an issue when i turned on tractor the tach and temp needles started bouncing around and the hour meter went dead. It was a bad ground and found both battery terminals being eaten through. I honestly ignored them when checking...

Yes, easy to get off, dealer came out to swap out the HVAC unit (bad evaporator) sensor. We just took bolts out and it comes off easy. I have a 3515CH, picture is viewed from driver side.

Sorry about spelling; but yes those are the sleeves that when tightened hold the pulleys on the shaft. Now, if the belts are loose that is the bolt on top; 1st have to loosen the 4 bolts that anchor the top pulley to the mower.

I have had a Betstco medium duty 175 for about 2 years. Initially, they shipped the unit with a fill plug vs. a vent plug. I would agree the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. As an example they show in 2 places the gearbox takes either 1 qt or 3 qt of oil; neither of which is right since...

We have garden space that is fenced with 4'-5' high fencing and I use my Branson 3515ch with 4' tiller. We decided on strip gardening leaving grass space/walkways between rows. Yes, we do get dear and rabbits. I will this winter put 2' or 3' chicken type fence to the existing fence to hopefully...

Sorry about the delay. The dealer finally got a service manual from Branson and it appears the evaporator sensor is bad, Branson is telling him per warranty can't replace the sensor must replace the whole HVAC component in the roof. I did verify with a different dealer that Branson does...

What was that old saying day late and dollar short.... :) Just did a quick look and yes does appear to be the same.

@Asteral Check your DM, I just got a 15 series Cab service manual if you want to add it to the collection of manuals.

I will post if I find one.

Sorry for any confusion, the initial symptom was the clutch didn't engage, I reseated the compressor connector and it worked for about a month and stopped. The dealer decided to replace the compressor and condenser. I asked why replace the condenser and they said that is what Branson said to...

Trying to troubleshoot an HVAC problem. I have been through what service manuals I could find; but I can't find anything in them related to HVAC. I did see that the 20 series service manual has section in it for HVAC. Mine is tier 4 and does not have a dryer. My initial problem was no cold air...

To follow up on my previous post for the red paint I got at Tractor Supply, see pic, I used this on a tool box I built for the tractor, matched in nicely.

I bought some at tractor supply and it matched up very well. When I get a chance will try to find it and post here.

Is it under warranty? One thing I don't like is how the main line coming from the pump to the loader value goes underneath the tractor. Mine burst it might have been pinched; but didn't see evidence of that. Dealer replaced it and fluid under warranty. I may in the future look for alternate...

3515CH with ~300 hrs and I don't experience that issue. I did have an issue where the if I lowered the bucket I could let go of the loader joystick and it would continue to lower and I would have to pull the joystick back to stop it. The problem was the line coming into the value block below cab...

Just wanted to say Rich and team have been fantastic to work with me on my tractor!

I purchased an MTL grapple, have been happy with it. It has grease fittings. It is a bit more heavy than EA; but it is a whole lot cheaper than EA. Here is link to all of their grapples. Tractor Attachments — MTL Attachments

Thought would pass this on. In the past I wondered if I had an issue with loader bleed down, the dealer came out and replaced the original loader value which didn't fix the problem (it appears some loader bleed down can be expected, I had him test a couple of tractors he had on his lot). The...

Just as an FYI, I had the opposite problem, mine (3515 CH) was always cold and one time it did register normal range. It turned out to be a combo of thermostat and temp gauge which is part of the instrument cluster and is replaced as a whole. If you replace instrument cluster remember the hours...

Grab this pic from internet, hopefully it is helpful.

Viewed parts of this thread and saw the PTO extension Pedro created which is awesome work and that is something I have thought about, Pedro you mentioned you might have drawings, I have 3515 CH would they apply to it? While I am here I am attaching couple of pics for tool holder I created. I...

GM, I am curious has anybody noticed if they have the bucket up in the air that the lift or tilt loses pressure and drops. I have 3515CH with 150 loader. A while back I was loading some scrap material in the bucket and after probably less than 1 hr I hear a noise and the plywood had slid off...

Ok, update, I flail mowed for ~1hr and you can see what the temp gauge looks like, also after mowing I held my hand on the radiator for about 20 seconds and was not tremendously hot. Dealer thought it might be temp sensor, I guess it could be but to me it still seems like a thermostat which his...

GM, hope everybody is doing well. I did do some searching around this; but thought I would throw it out here. I have ~75 hrs on the tractor and originally noticed the temp would go up to the 1st mark and drop to cold and would fluctuate a bit; but never getting up to 1st mark. I don't have a way...

Do you use the 540E? I am thinking of using it for mowing my pasture (very clean and not over 18" high) and was wondering if running 540E at ~1900 rpm would get engine hot enough for the tier4? I have a 6' flail mower.

Tilled the garden area, tarter 4' and distance between rows is ~5' which is enough for mower and possibly small side-by-side :-)

Thought I would post couple pics. 1st one is my Dad tilling the garden area and 2nd is me moving a bale that was left in the barn when we bought the property and no, I didn't have bale spear; but it worked strapping it down.

All checked out; also getting 3rd function ($800) and bolt on cutting edge ($12). Hope the pic uploads, probably take delivery next week. Thanks again!

Good Day, I am new here and have researched this; but wanted to get the experts take. My wife and I recently purchased ~30 AC place that is mainly all mature pasture with some woods and is gently rolling. My main uses for the tractor would be basic upkeep and mowing the pasture if I don't lease...
