Tractor
Branson 5220C with BH250 Backhoe and a bunch of attachments
After a year of researching tractors and 6 months figuring out which Branson we wanted, we decided to pull the trigger and get one!
Here's what we got from the Dealership:

Branson 5220C with the BL200 loader
BH250 Backhoe
66" Root Grapple
3rd Function installed
6 foot Bushhog
6 foot Tiller
HD Pallet Forks
6 Foot Box Blade
Post Hole Digger with 9" and 12" augers
CAT 1 Quick Hitch.

I know its a lot, but we got 36 acres of mixed pasture, lake, and woods. I own a Sawmill, so it will be doing work with logs to the Sawmill and everywhere else.
Immediate use will be fixing roads around the property, putting up fencing, fixing drainage and clearing out a creek bed to start along with planting 8 apple trees, blackberry bushes and some elderberry.
Then we get into all the other projects lined up the next 5 years

Eventually we'll be building more outbuildings where this Hoss will help with site work.

Excited to finally get some heavy equipment to help on the farm.

It will be delivered the 25th of January.....waiting on purpose (need to get the pole barn cleared out, and my father wants to be here for delivery). It works out great, because my birthday is the 27th.

Let the plans begin!!!!!

Congratulations! I almost went with the 5220C but 15 series was more realistic for what I do. Very nice machine and I hope you get many years of trouble free service! Post pictures when you can. :thumbsup:

Edit: And Happy Birthday!

Absolutely,
Our biggest decision was to go with the Hydrostatic or Shuttle Shift. I drove both and liked the shuttle shift. Plus I didn't like the whine of the Hydro at even the slow speed. Win/win because it cost less and we could get more attachments

I promise to post a bunch of photos. Can't wait to get going on this thing. I got a huge list of projects to start on.

I do not own a Branson, but if I were looking, Branson would be the first.
Branson owners do love their Bransons!
