[TXSHOTGUN]

Does anyone know where I can find a good used cyl head for the Branson 3510?

An official statement has been released by the German importer for Branson regarding the TYM deal. It was translated from German, so some errors may be present.

"Dear Customers,


As you probably know, Kukje Machinery in 2016 Tong Yang Moolsan Group, which sells its tractors under the name TYM .


In January 2022, the final steps towards the merger were then successfully implemented. was created in December 2020, TYM Corporation is now the largest tractor manufacturer in South Korea and is thus continuing the successful growth course of recent years.


With the complete takeover of Kukje Machinery, there are now adjustments.


In order to transfer the synergies of the merger to the brand name as well, a global standardization of the brand name be implemented on October 1st, 2022. The TYM brand will emerge from the previously separate brands Branson tractors and TYM tractors, which will occupy a stronger and uniform position in the market. In addition, the coloring of TYM tractors (similar red tone and black chassis) is extended to former Branson models.


It is important that former Branson models technically unchanged as usual are imported by us . The rim color of our accessory tires remains the familiar black-grey.


Due to the manufacturer's strategy, we benefit from access to a larger spare parts warehouse with better availability and from increased production capacities , which shorter delivery times . The information between us and the manufacturer improves thanks to more service personnel in Korea and the focus set by the manufacturer, which is now much higher in the areas service , sustainable customer loyalty and strengthening your own brand image , is also an advantage.


Tong Yang Moolsan invests a lot in the development your products. We have already benefited from this with the 05 series and the factory cabin of the F series. In addition, Tong Yang Moolsan started a cooperation with Deutz this year to develop an environmentally friendly drive train for tractors.


Considering the possibilities and chances that are new for you and for us, one can already successful course of growth speak We look forward to taking another step with you into a successful future .

I'm curious to see how they will handle the different importers in Europe. Typically the importer for TYM is a different company than the importer for Branson.

Looks like the I overestimated how long it would take for the Branson name to vanish.

So the Branson line will still exist, but just be called TYM?

Black-grey wheels? Must be a translation error.

Unsure if I should be quickly selling my 2610h or rushing to order 3 new ones before October. Ha ha!

Until new models come out between Branson and TYM, yes, I would imagine they will still sell Branson and call it Branson by TYM or just TYM. Something along those lines.

Regarding the wheels, Branson Germany typically sells their Branson tractors with the grey rims and R1 Radial tires unless the costumer wants other types of tires.

They also have a Black Edition on different models.

Love to have that color option I like my Branson but red is my least favorite vehicle color. Both my tractors are red not the worst problem ever though. At least my Grasshopper is poop brown

I'm in the same position as you. I'm not a fan of red either, but ended up with a red tractor regardless. And if I didn't go with the Branson, I would've most likely end up with another red tractor as well, an Antonio Carraro.

Looks like we have similar taste My Antonio Carraro is an awesome tractor. The difference between it an the Branson is remarkable. Branson is a basic get the job done type of tractor, nothing fancy. The AC has every feature I can think of except auto fan reverse. Seems well engineered and thought out. I only have 30 hours on it so far but it has been a pleasure to use.

Those are indeed great tractors. The few that pop up for sale used every once in a while tend to have over 8000 hours, mainly working on fruit farms doing all kinds of tasks, like loading trucks with the boxes full of fruit with a 3 pt forklift mast, spraying, mowing, etc.

I would've went with either a 4000 or a 4400F, which would have less features than the Branson, like independent PTO,less gears and lower link hooks, but would fit better my orchards and would offer more stability on some crazy hills I work on. I'm still very happy with the Branson and I just make it work just fine as well.

One thing about the AC is to keep those zerks for the Actio system greased and it will last a long time without getting any play or start eating the housings.

I am aware of the actio zerks but I am having a hard time finding the correct grease here in the US. Calls for rheolube 393 I found 1 supplier $800 dollars a case
