Anyone have any experience with the Branson 7845C?
Starting up a commercial meat goat farm in central Georgia, and I have an equal number of Branson dealers near me as I do Deere dealers. Primary purpose of this tractor will be for the hay operations. About 80 acres worth of hay. Some will be round, but mostly small square bales, and the vast majority are for selling. Plan to run an accumulator (10 bale) and a grapple to avoid the man handling of the bales. I like the idea of a used JX95 as mentioned in another post, but Case dealers seem to be few and far between, and the nearest affordable used JX95 I can find is in Indiana. Deere is proud of their equipment, and I don't want to get caught up in that backlog of tractors at their repair shop should I need them.
I'm also kicking around the idea of a used Kubota M8200, but I'd have to add a front loader to the one I found, which makes the cost substantially more than I'm willing to pay for a used tractor. I haven't found much in low hours and capable realm in the used market.
