Buying 3510

[Maxtout]

I found a Branson 3510 demo With FEL, with 110 hours for 14,900 full factory warrantee. Price with 5ft fin mower, 5ft box scrape, and subsoiler was 16,500. This is my 1st (and hopefully only) tractor. Is 110 a lot of hours? Does this seem like I got a good deal? I wish I'd found this site earlier in my research. I looked at TBN several times before finding this forum, it has helped make my desicion easier. Thanks for the good info.

Welcome to the forum. You will glean all kinds of good info here. 110 hrs. is nothing on these tractors. You will get yrs. and yrs. of good use out of this machine. I love my 3510 and wouldn't trade it for anything. It will just be a day or 2 with yours, and you'll be saying the same thing... good luck with the new machine......Brian

That is a very good deal. I payed 16,700 for the tractor alone. I haven't regretted buying it ever.

I can't say much about the price, I have a 4720, but I can tell you, you will love the machine!

Maxtout,
Good Price!
110 hours means they broke it in for you - and did the first couple of critical maintenances for you free of charge. (make sure they change fluids and such before you take delivery)
My '05 Century C-35 cost $16k with heavy duty loader (Zetor C50HL - not the same as the Branson Loader) and around here it's easy to spend $1200 or more on a fin mower & $450 or more on a 6' box so I'd say it's a pretty good deal - especially with the subsoiler thrown in. (6' rough cuts start at $850 and double in price pretty quick, too!)

I got mine for maintaing 35ac and building a house - now I need to build a weight bracket for the back, because it'll pick up enough gravel in the 5' bucket to "float" the back wheels if I'm not careful.

If you decide to jump on this one, you should be plenty happy.
