Bought Another Tractor

[Dennis Mohn]

I got so fed up with my 6 year old LS to replace a what should be a simple battery, along with being fed up with the LS dealer, I decided to put my LS XJ 2025H on the market and buy a gently used Branson 2515H with a bigger bucket, better forks, 6' box blade, and 6' rear mower. The tractor has 68 hours and 4 years old. It looks showroom new and sounds great. The LS has a custom foot hold, receiver hitch welded to the bucket, extra hydraulics in the back with a detent valve & turf tires. The 2515H joins my 4215HC - very similar straight forward engineering. It is being delivered from nearly 90 miles away. Will be a full load.

Great choice, hope you got it for a good price also

Branson is a name you don't hear anymore

Now it is known as TYM. The dealer said the 4 digit models are just a rebadge from Branson.

So, maybe i missed it, but if you have a 4215, what is the niche for the 2515? Physical same size, just lower HP, and i can't think of any time I would want lower power in the same frame?

2 tractors for 2 different locations. The bigger tractor is at camp out in the middle of no where. The little tractor is for home and replaces a smaller framed LS XJ2025H.

Ok, that makes more sense.

When I bought my Kioti Ck2610, I did also look side by side at the 2515, as the dealer sells both. The 2515 was a close choice, but I liked the loader joystick, and seat better on Kioti, as well as the Kioti was $1500 less. Being that you already have the 42hp version, it should feel like home on the 2515

Why in the world they decided to put the battery in a hole and the post towards the back!

I turned my battery around, easier to get to the post but still a nightmare to lift the battery in or out.

Sometimes change just for the "happiness" factor is enough "justification" for the purchase!

It's only money, you can't take it with you!
