I just got the original Brush Grubber that supposedly will pull up to 3 inch trees. I used it the other day to pull roots in an area that I am clearing for a home site. I used my 25hp TYM 2515 with a chain on the bucket. I generally just pulled them horizontally, but I did lift some smaller ones...

Good idea. I will see how it is when I get it back, then maybe contact a body shop.

Well I bent the loader mount on my 2515h enough that I couldn’t pull the left side pin to remove the loader. The dealer was able to get it bent back enough that I can remove the pin with some effort, or so he said. I don’t have it back to try it yet. I guess it got bent when I hit a buried rock...

I don’t think I want to carry an impact wrench around with me on the tractor.

I am considering purchasing a Rural King by King Cutter professional series rear blade. I am concerned though that the tilt and offset features both are adjusted with the same bolts. (see photo) Should that be an issue in any way? For one, I would think a quick adjust pin would be better than...

That looks like a pretty good range of motion. I am looking for one for my 2515H TYM. The oem link is 14 3/4 to 25 1/8 and I have Pat’s quick hitch on the lift bars. The one at TSC is 18 1/8 to 26 3/8. I’m not sure if that would be enough extension. The retracted length seems about right.

Noted. I have not heard that story. Sorry for Mike's family.

Good morning! It’s 38f here in Missouri and headed to 66. I had a senior moment the other day. I had a flat front tire on my 2515H, so I jacked it up and took the wheel off for repair. It fell off the jack stand so I had to bring back a farm jack to get it off the ground. I needed clearance for...

The one with the meter? I wouldn’t cut it either. 😉 But seriously, maybe you could get the power company to deal with it.

I remember the day when my dad got his tractor stuck. He had me walk about a half mile to a home and ask for help. It turns out the guy drove a road grader for the county and brought the grader to get my dad out. Pretty cool!

Hey, at least you have a pond. I could use one on my ten acres. Glad you got out with no damage except your ego.

I apologize if I was snippy to you. I have already read the thread about rocks. I was wondering about sticks and roots and leveling. Sorry for the perceived slight.

I wasn't looking for an advertisement. They are a dime a dozen.

I am clearing land for a home site. I am removing a bunch of trees (mainly walnut, oak and locust). After clearing the trees and grinding stumps there is a lot of loose roots and sticks and also depressions left over from stump grinding. Would a landscape rake be a good tool for raking all this...

Last year my granddaughter’s third grade teacher’s husband died when taking down a dead tree. He was a former highway patrolman. The small town’s population probably tripled the day of his funeral. Very sad.

As for the "breed" pipe, it's probably a misprint but I'm not sure what it should be.

There are some items on the 100 hour maintenance checklist for my 2515H that I don't understand. Does anyone know what the engine breed pipe is? I'm supposed to check it. Also, what is the steering wheel hose? Is it some kind of power steering fluid hose?

Ok, what am I missing? 540E is just lower rpm in B range, correct? There is no switch is there?

The tach on my 2515h quit working. I took it in to the dealer and they put dielectric grease on the connector. It was working for a while then started working only intermittently. Now it has totally quit again. The dealer is going to order a new dash panel. Has anyone else had this issue with...

What is 540E? I noticed it on the dash panel and realized I don’t know what it means.

I’ve never seen a cement truck like that. It looks backward.

Yesterday I was greasing the tractor and went looking for zerks that I didn't know about. I have a 2515H. Besides the loader, I found the zerks at the middle of the front axle and the one on the right 3-point arm. The manual says the brake pedal should have a zerk. I did not find one. What am I...

Thanks for all the input. This is exactly what I was wanting. I want to tow safely.

I plan on one chain through a clevis on the draw bar and just ratchet straps on the front axle.

I need to purchase a chain to tie down my tractor when hauling it. The tractor is a TYM 2515h and weighs around 3000 lbs without the loader and close to 4000 with the loader. Will a 5/16 inch chain be sufficient or should I get 3/8 inch? The 5/16 inch yellow chromate chain has a load capacity of...

No Facebook needed, nor wanted.

If I remember correctly the manual tells what they are for but doesn't mention what implements may benefit from either setting. I assumed the box blade should not float up and down but wanted input from more experienced users. When you say a 3 point mower would benefit, you are saying it would...

I know about the top link setting. I was asking about the lower arms.

My TYM/Branson 2515H has two settings on the lower 3-point arms where you rotate a rectangular piece to one of two directions and it either enables the lower arms to float up and down with the terrain or to stay rigid. I hope I'm describing this so you can understand what I'm talking about. I...

No draft control.

Man, I'm sorry this happened. You seem a lot more calm about it than I would be. I am in the same camp with those that think MF will warranty it. Bad customer relations spreads like wild fire. It would be bad for business not to deal with this.

I’m not sure surging is the right word. Anyway, today I was was doing some rotary cutting and after 45 minutes or so the 3 point arms started lifting and dropping and inch or two with no input to the control. I shut down and checked all the houses for leaks and for broken or damaged linkage. I...

I’ve read that you should keep the weight of a grapple below 50% off lift capacity. My TYM (Branson) 2515 has 2200 lb lift. From the photo, I think I would want more tines on the bottom for raking brush up.

Wow! So far there’s 90 pages of comments on this thread. Hot topic indeed. On the subject of wind farms, has anyone done an impact statement on the long term use of windmills? Where does the energy come from. Obviously it’s from stealing the power of the wind. What if there was a wind farm at...

Nice tractor. I'm getting my 2515h next week.

You want 10-15% of trailer weight on the tongue to help prevent sway. For example, for a 7000 lb load you would want the tongue weight between 700-1050 lbs. For an example, watch this video.

Check your gross cargo weight limit and make sure you include any cargo in your truck in your calculation. Adding air bags or springs does not increase your limit. Make sure your hitch is at the same height or slightly higher than the trailer hitch. Mount the ball on a riser or descender...

I don’t know if I would ever need a rear remote. I was just thinking it might be nice to have at least one if I ever wanted to put on a hydraulic third link.

I used Simpson strong ties to mount the handrail posts when I rebuilt my deck a few years ago. It is a similar idea to the cable idea without the cable. A bracket is mounted to the joist and there is a bolt that goes through the bracket to the outside. As you tighten the nuts on the bolts...

I did some reading on using diesel for weeds. It sounds like it's pretty good as a weed killer on its own. Why add the Remedy?

Does the 2515 come with rear remote(s) standard?

I looked at a Branson (TYM) 2515H today. It looks like a nice tractor. Do any owners have anything good or bad to say about it? I am waiting to close on our land purchase to buy. I plan to get a 5 ft rotary cutter, 5 ft box blade, and 42” pallet forks for now.

I'm in Missouri. Not much cactus and no Mesquite. But we do have multi-flora rose and locust trees.

So am I to assume that a regular mowing regimen will not eventually kill off the little ba$$tards? Sorry, I'm new to all this.

The nearest Amish community that I know of is 23 miles away. I imagine that they would require transportation to and from daily until completed. It's not a bad idea, though.

Thanks for the article. It explains a lot, like why I don’t see the huge plumes of black smoke that I used to see coming out of tractors and semi’s.

Thanks for the ideas. I hadn’t even thought about a container. Paystar, I like the look of the cedar logs on your shed.

I'm just purchasing 10 acres of mostly forested land in Missouri. I will need a tractor for clearing land, grading, mowing, etc. But first I need somewhere to store it as there are no buildings on the property. I'm looking for plans for a machine shed I can buy/build to store a compact tractor...

Can you elaborate on the non-ECM engines? What are the laws regarding this? I am looking for my first tractor and I seen reference to emissions on a few posts. When is Biden going to make us go all electric? :)

Thanks for the explanation.

Can you tell me what other route you took and why?

Ok, sorry for being a newbie (I'm shopping for my first tractor). What is this top link? Doesn't the tractor come with it?

It looks like Brian hasn't posted on this thread since Oct19. Is he or any other RK representative on this forum? I just joined and am considering a RK25. My closest store is Warrenton, MO. I have emailed for information and only got one reply to the question about service. He said they have one...
