Branson tractors 2020 Agritechnica Germany

[ptsg]

Found this video on new Branson stuff for the European market.

This happened in Agritechnica in Germany. A big agricultural fair where pretty much all brands will display some new stuff.

I'm surprised Branson didn't have any K series (45 series) there. Probably there isn't anything new on those.

Looks like we're getting a new 2505h and a 2500L.

Interesting, I saw that the loader buckets had the Euro hook and pin style quick connect, I perfer that over the ssqa.
Also the interesting tire on the one looked like the hybrid R4's.

Euro style quick attach is what we mainly use here. The SSQA is just used on skidsteers.

That's a new style of tire that came up a some time ago. It's a mix between R1 and Turf tires and it's doing quite well.

Also note, that pretty much all the tractors come with Radial tires.

Those quick attach devices look pretty neat. When I was in Europe I noticed a lot of tractors with a 3 point set-up on the front, front fenders and other things that I have never seen in the States. And things like diesel cars are common too, and you don't see any in the States now. I also remember seeing hands free cell phone connections in autos over there years before we had them State side. Seems like Europe embraces technical advancement much quicker than do Americans.
I saw a couple things I didn't know what they were; The 5025C had what looks more linkage on the FEL's curl attachment. Is that a self leveling feature? What is that metal rod sticking out back just below the top link on the rear 3 point?

Is mechanical self leveling, common on almost all loaders, that thing at the back must be to use on attachments, the tractor has a quick coupler on the rear 3pt.

I don't understand why front 3pt is not a widely used I the US, has been used for decades here.

Front fenders are quit common for tractors that is used on the road, I do believe it might be mandatory in some countries for road use. And yes we use tractors as universal tools for very much, here in Norway most of the snow clearing is done by tractors even on the highways, same with all other kinds of maintenance work.

But small tractors are not so common here, the only brand that had any sale to speak of in the below 50hp is Lovol (Foton).

Yes it's self leveling as Agvg said.

The rod in the back is part of the height adjustable trailer hitch.

You have two rails, then a slider in the middle. With a simpler lever, it retracts two pins, so you can slide to whatever height you need, then lock it. The long rod is so you can pull the main pin from the cab to engage or disengage the trailer. This is usually an optional feature.

This one have a ball hitch instead but you get the idea:



This seem to be more common in Germany and Eastern European countries as they use those two axle style trailers. The ones that the front axle pivots on a turntable like the hay wagons you use there.

But we also get the regular drawbar style:

I think Branson's said they'll be making some self levelling loaders available in the US.

I think Branson's said they'll be making some self levelling loaders available in the US.

Think they did- at least on the 7845.
Member Kapper traded in his 1 year old model to get the new self leveling loader

I guess It was less expensive to just trade for the new tractor equipped with self leveling than to buy the new model loader and exchange it.



Model BL 450 SL

Weird on Bransons site, they list the new (BL 450) but it does not does not show an option for the SL (Self leveling)

Impressive specs on the BL 450

Lift Capacity to Full Height 3668 lbs at pivot pins
Breakout Force 6105 lbs at ground level, pivot pin

The self leveling loaders are available in the U.S as of now we have two on our lot with them and they are awesome frm what little i have gotten to play with t, obviously i cant dig with it since it's brand new but they are cool to move around when we do a wash down on the lot.

As for why its not on Bransons US site yet ....well lets just say the person in control of the site for branson is notoriously slow when it comes to updating anything for the U.S. Site

As for the Black Edition of the Branson I think(Don't Quote me on this) we may see the option here in the U.S. sometime next year.

The 8050 has the self leveling loader, when I got mine the 7845 did not have it.
