I'm considering buying a Century 2035 tractor, and am wanting opinions from you guys. Anybody have any experience with this tractor?
Thanks,
Dennis

It is essentially a Branson, but with a different loader. Most all parts interchange as they were built on the same production line. Differences would be seat, perhaps tire/wheel options and the loader. Nice heavy duty tractors. Things to look for before buying: Check the fuel tank and power-steering resevoir for leaks. Some models were prone to failure. Check tie rod ends for slop. Check the clutch and make sure it is not out of adjustment and is not slipping. We saw quite a few clutch failures on the earlier models, more than there should have been. They went to a better clutch in later years. Other than that, do a cold start and it should start quickly with not much smoke, and what little smoke is evident should clear right up. Of course there are many other things to look at. Check for leaks around the power-steering hoses at the base of the column, they are a chore to replace and not cheap.

Overall if it checks out, you will find it to be a very capable tractor.
