Read articles →A three-year owner retrospective from someone who actually uses this compact tractor hard on a homestead. Tracy covers snow plowing with a grooved-tire setup, log handling with a grapple, land clearing, chicken coop cleanup, ditch digging, and driveway grading, with honest notes on real repairs (shear pin, bent hydraulic rams, getting stuck in clay). Best for budget-minded shoppers weighing the Branson 2515H for mixed rural chores.
An owner-operator sharing candid long-term impressions from their own homestead, with no stated affiliation to Branson or TYM.
With grooved tires it has phenomenal pushing power, grips well, and can scoop snow banks back, plowing above the axles then cleanup plowing afterward.
The shear pin lever sheared requiring seat removal, a hydraulic ram box got bent from hitting a stump and was bent back, plus a new fuel filter and general maintenance.
Yes, the owner got it stuck in a pig pen where heavy weight caused it to high-center in tough clay, requiring another tractor to pull it out.
Yes, it dug a trench for a friend's pond drain pipe that was flooding a basement, and the owner was pleased with the outcome.
