    My new Branson was missing inner Air filter, should I be worried?

    I bought a new Branson 5520H last year. When I did my 50 hour service I had only really been snow plowing so there was no dust or dirt at all, so the filter looked brand new still, so I didn't replace it. Today at around 90 hours I checked my filter because I have been bush hogging this summer...

    Up-sizing my Branson 4015H to a 5520H

    I have had a 4015H for a couple years now, and have been happy with it. I want a backhoe for general use around the farm, and have been wanting something bigger and wider for more stability on my hilly place, as well as weight for pushing snow. So I'm in the market for a 4820H, or 5520H with...

    A1700 engine sounds terrible, anyone experience this

    I have a Branson 4015H with just 62 hours, I bought it in Aug 2018 and it only gets used sporadically, otherwise kept in my shop. My engine is the most rough, course sounding diesel I have ever heard. My last tractor, a Bobcat CT440, (Kioti DK40SE) was smooth as could be. My engine has...

    Using chains instead of blades on rotary cutter...

    I bought a new Land Pride "medium duty" 1860 cutter and I used it all of 5 minutes before one of the blades snapped off and bent the other. My property is planted pines I am clearing out, and is loaded with stumps since it was thinned, and they are almost impossible to see so I can't cut the...

    Pulled trigger on a Branson 4015H with the new stronger loader

    Just signed for a Branson 4015H with their new BL150 loader, with double rear remotes. I couldn't find anything in this smaller size that matched the Branson capability, especially for the money. This tractor is quite a bit smaller than their 20 series and 1000lbs lighter, but with the new...

    What turbocharger does the DK50-55 use? (I want to turbo a DK40)

    Actually, I lied in the title, I want to turbo a Bobcat CT440 but it is exactly the same as a DK40SE. I am thinking of buying my Bobcat CT440 back from the friend I sold it to a year ago. The problem is I have since moved from 300' above sea level to about 8,500' in the mountains of CO, and...

    I want a Branson 4015. How is Bransons future looking?

    Been doing alot of research for a tractor that will fit my needs. I want something smaller, but with a capable loader. But I also live at 8,500 ft now. This made me decide I want a turbo tractor or else be hit with a 30% power penalty due to thin air (been there in trucks and swapped a 5.0 for...

    What to buy? I want a small tractor with a turbo (high altitude use)

    Hello all, Been here a while, I bought a Bobcat CT440 years ago and it was completely flawless in the 8 or so years I had it. About a year ago I sold it because I wasn't using it much at all in Alabama. But now I live in Colorado, and see myself really needing a tractor within a year or so...

    Best time of year to buy a new truck (F-150) ?

    Alright guys, I kinda want a new truck. Well, I don't really want a new truck, I would be happy with a used one, but since I want a 2011 F150, there aren't many used ones to be had. The used ones I found are just as expensive as new ones. My question is, is there a time of the year that is...

I have priced them at numerous dealers around here and the going price for one like this is about $3,500. Then I found this one in MS for $2,500 out the door. Here are...

    Guess what this threads about!!!

    Guess what this threads about? Grapples! I know there are alot of grapple threads, but most of what is talked about is about how the 48" wide can do the work of the wider ones, and in most cases is better because it focuses the pressure to a smaller area, for uprooting trees and such. My...

    Finally brought my 440 home. With PICS!

    Well, I finally got off the oil rig and was able to pick up my CT440 once the loader finally came in. So far all I can say is WOW, a world of differance compared to my old 27hp grey market Mitisubishi. It is like a cadillac. I love the hydro trans, and the loader is a beast. All in all I can't...
