Read articles →This is a talking-head owner update, not an in-action demo: no fresh footage of the tractor running, just photos/clips from past use plus a walkaround of implements and mods. At ~52-53 hours over two seasons (brush hogging, driveway work), the owner covers loader/pallet forks, a bucket bite bar mod, chain box build, and candid thoughts on Branson's discontinuation and TYM parts support. Best for prospective buyers weighing long-term ownership risk rather than performance specifics.
Posted by an owner-operator (co-owned with his dad) sharing personal, unsponsored impressions from years of actual use on their property.
No, the owner says TYM bought out Branson and most Branson dealers are now TYM dealers who still supply filters and service the tractor, so he has no regrets so far.
About 52-53 hours over two seasons, averaging 25 hours per year, mostly brush hogging and driveway maintenance with a box blade and landscape rake.
He added a Bobcat bucket bite tooth bar designed for a skid steer, using flat steel shims and longer bolts since it was narrower than the bucket.
The owner says the 35 horsepower tractor with about 30 horsepower at the PTO has done everything asked of it and he never felt underpowered.
