Branson 1905H Compact Tractor

[tredin18]

Can anyone comment about the Branson 1905H tractor. Looking to buy one new. I have a price of 13,625 which includes loader and 54" mowing deck.

That tractor is made by TYM, and it is the same as the RK19 sold by Rural King. If you have Rural King stores where you live, their advertised price with loader and 54-inch deck is $12,328, not including tax.

Thanks. None of those stores around me. Know anything about the quality?

They are good machines. Smooth h-stat and a yanmar engine.

I have heard yanmar is the same engine that Kubota uses, that true?

Nope. Kubota makes all their own diesels, even for the small sub-compact tractors. However, John Deere does use Yanmar(Japanese diesels) for all their sub-compact tractors. The 3-cylinder Yanmars are definitely very reliable engines. I have seen some Yanmar diesel gensets in Asia get 8,000 to 10,000 hours on them with excellent maintenance programs.

Thanks for the information. Any other information on Branson much appreciated.

I bought one last April, and by the end of May I was pulling the 50 hour service on it already! Mine came with the FEL, belly mower and the BH90 backhoe. I must have pulled 120 tree stumps with that little sucker ranging in size from a few inches to a foot and a half. Only real complaint is that the seat likes to flop down on you when turned around for backhoe use.
