I wanted a mid size (to me) tractor to replace some aging antiques and a couple of other things
I shopped all the favorite colors (except Kabota....just always thought they were ugly...personal preference)and none had what I wanted. Prices were pretty close depending on the whistles and bells and green didn't have the biggest array of those; surprised me.
I wanted a cab (if I was going to spring for a NEW tractor), both for respiratory protection and at 66 I'm just tired of being hot and cold at the wrong times.
I wanted 4wd, my first 4wd vehicle in my entire life, as I never before felt I needed one. After the monsoon winter/spring we had last year, I'm tired of getting stuck in the feed lot.
I figured if I got a 4wd it would have a large, HD, front end and tires under it and that would be where I'd want my loader; not on my 2wd JD 4010 with an open cockpit.
I started looking in April and had all but given up when one day in September, I was rubbernecking and saw this lineup of beautiful red tractors that I had never seen nor heard of before.
I pulled in and was introduced to Branson Tractors. I was duly impressed with all aspects of it, especially the "4 cylinder naturally aspired CUMMINS direct injected diesel". Most of the other brands I looked at earlier were 3 cyl. turbo's and I wanted more smoothness and didn't want the turbo....had em before and don't like them. I ran Cummins in OTR trucks and I knew their reputation.
Anyhow this is a 57 pto hp tractor and you just have to drive one to believe it. Model is 6530 (65 engine hp) with loader, hay fork, and their brand 6' mower. I'm pushing 80 hours on it and I have only fueled it up TWICE. They advertise .043 gal/hp/hr and I believe every bit of it.....and tug, that sucker just says give it to me.
I have a 11' 3 pt JD chisel with about 15 or so 10" sweeps and 3 rows of cultivator fingers and I have been out cultivating my pastures for spring planting in B2 to B3 (out of a C4 shift range) and little sucker just blows and goes. I am duly impressed. I'm so excited.
I personally checked and they have dealers nationwide and have been around for awhile.
You owe it to yourself to check them out. You may be pleasantly surprised, as I was, especially when you are talking about plunking down $30K plus accessories on a tractor.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
