I am getting very close to pulling the trigger on one of these two. I have spoken with the 3 dealers within a hour or so of my place. They can all get either model regardless of which brand they sold prior to the recent blending.
Here's the tale of the tape for things that matter:
Branson advantages:
4 range vs 3 range HST
PTO HP (+1.2)
Hydraulic flow (+1.64)
Ground Clearance (+1.7")
Turning radius (-0.92')
TYM advantages:
Fuel tank (+5.2 gal)
3pt capacity (+516 lbs) at pins
Weight (+40 lbs) negligible advantage
FEL cap (+89 lbs) at pins
FEL max hgt (+2.4")
Breakout (+1656)
Digging depth (2.5")
Things that may depend on your usage more:
TYM is 12.9" longer
Branson is 1.1" wider
TYM is 3.7" taller
TYM wheelbase is 5.1" longer
Standard feature differences:
TYM comes with 2 sets of rear remotes
TYM comes with arm rests
TYM comes with lever in back to adjust 3pt
Branson comes with rear work light
Branson has metal hood
TYM joystick has 3rd function buttons built in
The price difference from all 3 dealers was an extra $2000 for the Branson.
These are really close overall, but I am going to go with the TYM for my use.
Please add/correct anything in missed.
