Used 2004 Branson 3510

[farm23]

I have been looking for a good used tractor with a loader. I have looked at used tractos from major mfgr's and yesterday found a Branson 3510 with BL107 loader and loaded Ag tires for $13,500. The tractor is a 2004 with 107 hours. Questions:
1] I know nothing about Branson and the nearest dealer is about 45 miles away. Can anyone tell me what to expect from a used Branson?
2] Does the 2004 have independent PTO?
3] Any thoughts about the price?
4] The tractor seems to be in good shape. Are there any points I should look for?
Thanks for the help.

2] Does the 2004 have independent PTO? A non I has a 2 stage
3] Any thoughts about the price? Price seems fair to me
4] The tractor seems to be in good shape. Just check it all over, Drive it around,try loading with it, If it seems sound the price seems very fair for what you are getting, If you can save move then the more power to you

I agree with everything SHIFTY said.
If I could add, don't worry about how sturdy the tractor is, the 35HP Branson/Century out weighs the 35HP green, orange and blue by a 1,000 lbs or more, makes me wonder what they are leaving out!
Sounds like a good price for a great tractor.

I wouldn't wait to long to pull the trigger on the used 3510 & loader, if it checks out OK.
We have had 4 Branson trade-ins in the last three months----all from customers we sold to, and all upgraded to a larger Branson. The trade-ins did not last long. (one sold within about an hour!)
