Joe is incorrect. Bransons are not made in China. They are made in South Korea by Kukje Manufacturing.

Kukje also makes Century tractors which are identical to Bransons except for options on the FEL. The quality is far superior to Chinese tractors. Kukje makes several models of John Deere tractors for the Asian market, and also makes the A series diesel engine for Cummins. Kukje diesels are also EPA certified unlike most the Chinese tractors I have looked at.

I recently purchased a Branson 3520 and I am very happy with it. The fit and finish of the tractor is excellent, and its design is well thought out. It appears to be a very solid, well-built tractor. It is also very heavy compared to other 35 hp tractors I shopped, weighing more than 3700 lbs without the FEL. No hydrostatic transmission is available, but the shuttle shift works well (and it is nice to keep the HP - 37 horses gross, 35 net, 31 PTO.

I have only 10 hours on mine, so time will tell if the book is as good as its cover. So far, it has met or exceeded all of my expectations.

It is a little more expensive than the Chinese tractors (and already put together), and much less than the big three. Bransons are worth a look.
