Century 30 hp

megotatractor · Feb 28, 2004

Locally my brand choices are limited. the local guy has Centrury compact tractors and I was eyeing the little 30hp unit in the showroom. Can anyone tell me anything about these?

Can't say much other than I did test drive one once after I bought the one I have. If I would not have already bought I possibly would have ended up with a Century. If you go down to the other tractors forum you will find out more information on this tractor. I think it is also branded under the name Branson.

I have the Century 3045 and it is a great tractor. I have over 100 hrs on it now and haven't had ANY problems. The more I us it the better I like it. It has so many advantages and was the best bang for the buck I could find and I looked at most other brands. Go and drive it and look at how solid it is built compared to the other ones in its class

Do they sell them here in Minnesota? It would be kind of fun to check them out.

There is a dealer in Southeastern Minnesota in a town called Kellogg. I don't know if he keeps any on hand or not. The one I looked at was for a customer. I just happen to come in when it was there getting ready to go out. If you want the name of the dealer I can do some searching and get the information to you.

Oh no that's ok I was just wondering if there was a dealer that was like a Deere or NH dealer where he had a lot out for show so I could see what they look like first hand.

My dealer is Farmland equipment in Owatonna, MN. He currently has two different Cenury units. (had three but sold one)

Yes, I could tell at a glance they are tough looking beasts

If you go to Century dealer locator put in you zip code and choose how many mile raidius you want. It will show all the dealers in that area.

Ah, never thought about that! I not a serious buyer though. I kinda got my hands full now with the JD. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif From the website they don't look like a bad machine and I think one or two use Yanmar motors.

They have not updated the website yet. The 3045 is powered by Yanmar but it is being replaced (as will happen with all the other models) with the C47L which has the same engine Kukje is selling to Cummins as the Cummins "A" series. The 3045 is the first to be replaced followed soon with the 3040 being replaced by the (C42L) and so on. It will take a number of months to complete the process.
Happy Tractoring
