In 2016 I bought a new little Branson 2400 for $12,400 with loader to do little chores around the farm. Had non synchro 6 speed, tranny PTO, joystick loader, Cummins licensed engine, no tilt wheel and hard for a 240# 6'5 guy to enter and leave. In January I decided that I made a mistake and and wanted a hydro after all. Also wanted the other above mentioned problems solved.
In short, I accidentally wound up with an LS dealer buying my trade ins, and realizing that I had an opportunity for a lookie see at his offerings in that HP range I took advantage of it. Turns out the new MT2-25s with loader, solved ALL of my wants on my wish list with free delivery some 200 miles for $15,500. Took my Branson and a Ford 2000 in trade and I was out $6k cash. Not bad. The sucker is 25 hp and has a tilt wheel so you can get in and out, expanded operators station, Ind. PTO., 3 range Hydro, Yanmar engine, 6 year warranty. The workmanship is superb and the engineering is right up there with the best of them. Really impressed.
The only thing I have against compact tractors, and it seems to be across the board, on the rear, they put a 2450# rated pair R4s of 6 ply, tires on 16.5 rims which don't have a grove to hold the tire on if it goes flat [like found on most wheels and all for autos and trucks (16.5 excepted)] so you have to keep the pressure high so the tire doesn't spin on the wheel nor loose air and fall off (BTDT)...basically having a rolling rock, on a tractor that weighs...the whole thing including weight on the front axle, 1850#. Makes no sense. You just cannot get a seat to absorb all the punishment that those suckers can deal out.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
