You're right about the radio. I'm not really sure why they put 'em in tractors. I suppose if you're plowing 50 acres and the rows are long and straight and the tractor is pretty much driving itself and you're just guiding it along, you would probably be pretty bored and want to crank out the tunes. But otherwise, I wanna pay attention to my work. (Watch out for that rock!) 😊 Thanks for the walk around! I'm sold, where do I sign! 😃
O man I could not agree more about your point of view on the radio. I drove my last Chevy truck for 15 years, and that last 5 years was a little dicey. I never listen to the radio while driving it for the exact same reason. I always had to keep an ear on that engine, got to know it really well!
I hear that is a really good motor. A lot of good feature on it. I'm the same way, I want to hear everything going on with my tractor! Have a good week my friend!
We just bought a Branson 4820CH, the dealer told us it was a Blue Tooth radio. So if yours is as well it might be useful for phone calls. Unsure of whats changed in the last 2 years.
Just bought the Branson 4815!! The are still setting up the after market stuff, so we can't go pick it up yet. I am freakin STOKED! It looks like it will really work out
Very nice machine Hank. A lot of nice features. The only thing with a new tractor is like having a new car. You always want to keep it clean and looking nice. Till you get that first scratch. LoL.
Your the only one on UA-cam show casing Branson tractors. Love it. They have so much to offer. I would love to see dealer visits with some of the smaller tractors. Bransons website needs some work. It's not very detailed. Thanks for show casing Bransons product in detail.
Branson owner here, as a machinist what I notice is these tractors have a ton of forged parts, no literally a ton. Very well built for the money. And may I also point out, not the cheapest tractors on the market, just straight up good value. Simple rugged and no bullshit.
All right, Hank. Quit trying to hide your grin about the dry cab and a.c on that rig. You know you can't fool everybody. GBWYall! I hardly ever play a radio either. Especially on my chain saw. AND with that regen system you don't have to run it wide open for it to work. I've run it on other stuff and it does fine around 2/3rds wide open or half, even!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm It was to me but I knew what to look for. Being used to not much or no cab I almost felt guilty when I got in the 771, the 115 and the 980 and had condensation on the windshield. I sAID almost! GBWYall!
Well, that's a good thing, right??? I would really hate to ( T ) you off. Besides your the only one who notices my words. Others reply but seem distant. Thanx so much for noticing and commenting on how YOU feel. that REALLY MAKES IT WORTH IT!!! I LOVE YA BROTHER- REALLY YOU'RE THE BEST!!! PEACE
💥 Howboutcha Hank!! I know exactly what you mean about the radio. I ran my L3940 this past weekend and never turned the radio on. I like to hear the tractor as well. *Keep on tractoring!*
My 2001 NH TC33D has 2 hydraulic pumps 1 for steering 1 for loader, has the Deluxe 3 point hitch with Leveling crank, pin type stabilizers and telescoping lower link. The Branson looks like a nice tractor but I prefer the older models without the DPF or DEF.
I live just up the road in Enterprise and looked at a Branson today at Dixie Horse and Mule. It’s at the top of my list right with the Kioti to replace my Deere. Thanks for the reviews.
Hank, nice walk through. The engine has a cummins license. You can use Cummings parts, if needed, to make engine repairs. The engine also has no computers. The only computer is checking the pressure difference on the soot cooker. The radiator fan is powerful and will clog the screens when brush hogging. I do wish the tires were loaded as standard equipment. Also, the ability to raise and lower the 3pt from the rear would be nice. Get some mud on that Branson.
Looking forward to seeing how it holds up and your opinions compared to the 4540 in the future. I see a lot of features I like but my 5 year old 4540 is still doing the job, just not as fancy, lol . Nice tractor.
I’ve got an old Massey 35 Deluxe gas, bought a new Massey GC1705 loader last year. New one is so much more efficient & comfortable. Hydro beats the heck out a clutch & shifter. Never knew I’d use a front end loader so much. Seriously doubt I’ll ever use the old one again. Let my brother in-law take it to his house.
HAY HANK, HOWBOUTCHA!!!! One thing, the tractor is too clean. all in all nice I like the cab definitely a must-have, especially in the humid climates. I really like the flow of things can't wait to see the backhoe!!! Sorry about pumpin the BACKHOE all the time. Its a must for me and you're the only one I like to watch that's gonna have one. You know that though cause me you is tight... RIGHT-... RIGHT. SO how does it ride compared to the other? Or steer, or anything else? Ya gonna let gena drive it? you gonna let me drive it- oh forgot we live just a little apart from each other. no-worries I'll just close my eyes and pretend. Well Hank, love ya buddy SYAY COOL AN KEEP PUSHIN ON!!!! Oh can I get a tractor logo instead of the lil farm guy, can I hugh, can I, can I hugh,.. hugh. PEACE MY MAN!!!
I'm not a big fan of the smaller front wheels. Nothing against this brand as many of them are designed this way. I don't like regen either. Again nothing against the brand as many of them have this. Regen is not a necessity it is a political imposition and one that farmers and the rest of us should be fighting. Agree with your review, the Branson seems to be a nice tractor, but they need more time on the market to give a better idea of durability.
You don't spend hours and hours in a tractor so the radio is not much of a big deal but if you do 14 hour days then you need it lol plus the satellite radio or plug in my phone and stream music or audio books . In our large tractors they even come with a CD player and subwoofers lol . But my one nice option in tractor radios is the Weather Band so we are weather ready in the field ...Only thing I saw in your cab tour is it looks like it is short on leg room on maybe its just the camera view
My tractor has that same engine. I have to agree with you on the radio. I like to hear the tractor and the equipment. You know in case something goes crazy and you need to stop. Are TYM and Branson connected cause our Tractors are very similar.
I have a 55/20 brand new 22 model, and i see lots of folks doing the 50 hour service at only 5 hours, guess they don't know how to read the hour meter, mine is in 1/10th of an hour. smh
I'm dialing into the Branson 4820h per your recommendation but unsure about the cab option. Can your tractor's A/C system keep cab cool enough here in Florida during Jul and Aug? How fast to cool cab in these montbs? Thanks.
I find that I enjoy the radio when I'm mowing. Yet, when I'm doing loader work or other work that isn't as routine, the radio goes off so I can focus more.
You're Mahindra is going to be jealous. so how does this Branson compared to a kaboater? I'm not so sure I like the idea of a turbocharged motor on a tractor,. that adds a lot of reliability issues in my opinion🙄 especially a newly designed motor.
Shuttle shift is a gear tractor. It's a 12x12 transmission. You have 3 range gears, 4 synchronized gears and a shuttle lever that switches between forward and backward.
I understand you're working with demo tractors but for those buying tractors (me) and wanting simplicity with no DEF or computers or advanced electronics to deal with the simple solution is to buy older high production number John Deere,International, Ford and some Massey Ferguson tractors. Quick internet search shows what models have issues and what models are bullet proof. For the cost of the Mahindra you had (not sure why it's gone) or the new Branson I can buy 4 to 6 55hp range utility tractors from the 1970's to the mid 1980's era. Might need a little work or might just need a heavy service cycle and they are ready to do a days work. Full disclosure: I have been turning a wrench for about 45 years and have 15 tractors and counting.Plus dozer,backhoe,dump truck etc.Just bought 2 International 140's from the early 60's just for cultivating. Got both for about the same as a 48" cut riding lawn mower.(5200.00).Had to do a little work but overall I am pleased and have the exact tractor for cultivating that I wanted: times 2. Nice channel and I will subscribe.
I still have the Mahindra. The Branson Regen is not like the competitors. It is passive and if you run it at, say, 2k all the time, the regens will be few and far between. There is no computer on this tractor either. But I agree with you about the older stuff. They just don't make them like they used to. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. I've been happy with the Branson so far. I'll leave my opinions in other videos as to my likes and dislikes of the tractor.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Pretty sure the branson does have a computer of some type: since it does have a regen mode passive or not. If there is a single sensor on the tractor it "talks" to some type of computer.Easy way to tell: start the tractor then disconnect a battery lead. If it dies there is a computer. Both are nice tractors and come hot weather you're going to love the cab and A/C. Bought a JD 5320 with cab and A/C just for that: too old and can't take the Texas heat anymore.
@@amossnowdaharleyman9179 Good thing about Branson up to 55HP is that the Emissions works as a stand alone unit. It's almost like a add on they use for the countries that require emission controls. So this allows you just take the DOC off, replace it with a muffler, unplug the data logger and you're ready to go with a perfectly good running tractor like the old ones. The engine is fully mechanical so there is no codes or ECU preventing anything to run after you unplug the data logger. Some people will just gut the DOC instead of replacing with a muffler, since the second option requires fabrication.
In my opinion and we all have that right to express our opinion. Kubota is way overpriced and overrated. To many buy Kubota just to make folks think they have limitless funds. I worked at a Kubota Dealer and have seen the poor workmanship first hand. Cases cracked gears stripped clean and etc. I have heard of Branson tractors and I love the features you get for 1/4th the cost of Kubota.
I drive semi's for years with and without the new emissions systems and a regen, passive or not, is still a regen and when you have a problem with the emission system, especially the DPF or the DEF pump injector system, it is costly to repair. For reason and that reason alone , I bought the Mahindra. As you know every size of the Mahindra tractors do not have a regen system, which is not true of every other brand even John Deere unless you get the under 25 HP model. Then as for having it with a turbo, turbos are not cheap and using one on the farm with all the dust of what ever, it can get clogged up in the turbo fans and ker plunk ker plooy, another costly repair and I wonder what the warranty will cover for that. My brother had a 2007 Ram 3500 diesel that he bought from a farmer 2 years ago. 4 months later he was buying a new turbo, $5000.00. The cause, the mechanic found quite a collection of dirt that destroyed the fans blades in the turbo. On a big tractor or combine, having a turbo makes sense because they have the filtering system, and they need that extra boost of power. By the way, I am not a troll trying to give ya poop, I'm telling it like it is, which you know it to be right.
I don't take you as a troll at all. I appreciate your comment. I had a Mahindra 4540 and did a couple hundred videos on it. The only issue I had with it was the fuel pump went out. it was covered under warranty. But that happened with 150 hours on the machine. I wasn't happy about that. I do like the mCRD design, I'm just waiting for what people are saying in the next 5-10 years if it is still holding up. I feel between the Mahindra and the Branson, The Branson is better built. Have a good day. Take care!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Here's a couple more tid bits for ya to think about. First, I have a 2015 Ram 1500 with a 3L ecodiesel. The 2nd gen motor, which is what I have, had many problems with the new emission systems, DEF,DPF, EGR and everything else in what the system contains but those are your top 3. Fiat-Chrysler, recalled all the 2 gen 1500's and tried to fix some of the problems with software updates. If that did not work they replaced nearly all of the emission systems which is what happen to my truck a few months back, that is, they saved me 6-7000 dollars because I had no warranty on this. These little diesel motors, including now, Chevy and Ford, have passive regen on their half tons. You don't know how bad the DPF is getting because on the half ton trucks, they don't have a monitor to see if it needs to have a forced regen. Most 3/4 and 1 tons have this capability of forced regen. Bottom line is this. For those little motors to work with the passive regen, it is required that the motor RPM's run high, like on a highway, for some time to burn off the soot in the DPF to prevent the system from failing due to extreme heat. If not the DPF will get clogged and if the computer on your vehicle, including your tractors who have this system, does not engage the regen your DPF will fully clog and the only way to get it unclogged is to take it to a dealer where they force the regen. Otherwise it will cause the head to warp or crack which happens when the seals leak, because of the extreme temperatures, causing anti-freeze to leak into the head. Which is what almost happened to my truck. So again, unless I was running a combine or heavy tractor, I would not consider any small tractor that comes with this new emission system. Now what I am saying may not happen to you, but to the next guy that buys it after you are done with it, it may very well happen to them. Either way, it will happen. The Branson maybe made beefer, maybe, but that beefy build is not the engine. And as you know, you can have a great build of a tractor but it ain't worth a can of beef stew if the motor fails...
Ok Hank.. Now you know it's clickbait when you put a pretty tractor or a pretty girl in the thumbnail... so you doubled up and put BOTH in there... LOL
Good thing about Branson, up to 50 HP, is that the Emission system is a addon after the fact. So you can just take the DOC off, replace with a muffler, unplug the data logger and you have a old school tractor running perfectly and without emission crap.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Indeed! I mean, I understand that we need to save the environment but there are lots of ways to reduce the emissions, why use a system that basically turned perfectly reliable engines, into money pits? I've seen several big rigs and big tractors with the engines getting rebuilt with very low mileage just because of these emission systems.
No sir. I’ve got 280 hours on it now and love it. The only thing that I think could be better is strictly operator preference. The location of the hazard light button is literally the only thing I’d change.
He makes me Laugh when he says it’s powerful a tractor 😂😂😂😂 And when he said the rear end is beefy. Mannn ye yanks are funny.GET YOURSELF A RIGHT TRACTOR NOT A 60HP WHEELBARROW FFS A FORD 4610 PROBS HAS MORE GO THAN THAT.

@@amossnowdaharleyman9179 Good thing about Branson up to 55HP is that the Emissions works as a stand alone unit. It's almost like a add on they use for the countries that require emission controls. So this allows you just take the DOC off, replace it with a muffler, unplug the data logger and you're ready to go with a perfectly good running tractor like the old ones.
The engine is fully mechanical so there is no codes or ECU preventing anything to run after you unplug the data logger. Some people will just gut the DOC instead of replacing with a muffler, since the second option requires fabrication.
When it will be launched in India?
What tractor from this size Doesn’t have a beefy rear end?
They all do
Tractors when I am ready it's going to be a major decision 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
Hank you are gonna get spoiled now. Or maybe Gina can have the Branson and you can have the Mahindra. It will keep you grounded that way.
Lol. I'm gonna Remove this comment so she doesn't read it😂😂😂
Not much has changed from our old 4220 Branson to the newer 5220
Right on! Thanks for watching.
What's the price point of this unit?
Mid $30's👍
Did you ever get the john deer backhoe to start. Would love to see a video of it starting up. Thanks for the great videos.
no sir. My in laws will work on it again soon. If they do, I'll post a video on it. Have a good one!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm You better or we'll talk about you and it probably won't be too nice either!
You haven’t had any information on the Branson 6225 C
What is your opinion on this tractor !
Don’t know about that one.
In my opinion and we all have that right to express our opinion. Kubota is way overpriced and overrated. To many buy Kubota just to make folks think they have limitless funds. I worked at a Kubota Dealer and have seen the poor workmanship first hand. Cases cracked gears stripped clean and etc. I have heard of Branson tractors and I love the features you get for 1/4th the cost of Kubota.
Right on. I appreciate the comment 👍
You will play in that and do work with the Mahindra.
Nah, this thing is a beast. I've already done more work in this one than the Mahindra.
I drive semi's for years with and without the new emissions systems and a regen, passive or not, is still a regen and when you have a problem with the emission system, especially the DPF or the DEF pump injector system, it is costly to repair. For reason and that reason alone , I bought the Mahindra. As you know every size of the Mahindra tractors do not have a regen system, which is not true of every other brand even John Deere unless you get the under 25 HP model. Then as for having it with a turbo, turbos are not cheap and using one on the farm with all the dust of what ever, it can get clogged up in the turbo fans and ker plunk ker plooy, another costly repair and I wonder what the warranty will cover for that. My brother had a 2007 Ram 3500 diesel that he bought from a farmer 2 years ago. 4 months later he was buying a new turbo, $5000.00. The cause, the mechanic found quite a collection of dirt that destroyed the fans blades in the turbo. On a big tractor or combine, having a turbo makes sense because they have the filtering system, and they need that extra boost of power. By the way, I am not a troll trying to give ya poop, I'm telling it like it is, which you know it to be right.
I don't take you as a troll at all. I appreciate your comment. I had a Mahindra 4540 and did a couple hundred videos on it. The only issue I had with it was the fuel pump went out. it was covered under warranty. But that happened with 150 hours on the machine. I wasn't happy about that. I do like the mCRD design, I'm just waiting for what people are saying in the next 5-10 years if it is still holding up. I feel between the Mahindra and the Branson, The Branson is better built. Have a good day. Take care!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Here's a couple more tid bits for ya to think about. First, I have a 2015 Ram 1500 with a 3L ecodiesel. The 2nd gen motor, which is what I have, had many problems with the new emission systems, DEF,DPF, EGR and everything else in what the system contains but those are your top 3. Fiat-Chrysler, recalled all the 2 gen 1500's and tried to fix some of the problems with software updates. If that did not work they replaced nearly all of the emission systems which is what happen to my truck a few months back, that is, they saved me 6-7000 dollars because I had no warranty on this. These little diesel motors, including now, Chevy and Ford, have passive regen on their half tons. You don't know how bad the DPF is getting because on the half ton trucks, they don't have a monitor to see if it needs to have a forced regen. Most 3/4 and 1 tons have this capability of forced regen. Bottom line is this. For those little motors to work with the passive regen, it is required that the motor RPM's run high, like on a highway, for some time to burn off the soot in the DPF to prevent the system from failing due to extreme heat. If not the DPF will get clogged and if the computer on your vehicle, including your tractors who have this system, does not engage the regen your DPF will fully clog and the only way to get it unclogged is to take it to a dealer where they force the regen. Otherwise it will cause the head to warp or crack which happens when the seals leak, because of the extreme temperatures, causing anti-freeze to leak into the head. Which is what almost happened to my truck. So again, unless I was running a combine or heavy tractor, I would not consider any small tractor that comes with this new emission system. Now what I am saying may not happen to you, but to the next guy that buys it after you are done with it, it may very well happen to them. Either way, it will happen. The Branson maybe made beefer, maybe, but that beefy build is not the engine. And as you know, you can have a great build of a tractor but it ain't worth a can of beef stew if the motor fails...
😯👍
Thanks for watching 👍
🦉🦉🦉🦉 Osoyoos BC chow baby
Thank you for watching
I don't think you said anything about glow plugs !!
Don't use them here in the deep South
@@HamiltonvilleFarm shore makes the starter last longer!!!
Ok Hank.. Now you know it's clickbait when you put a pretty tractor or a pretty girl in the thumbnail... so you doubled up and put BOTH in there... LOL
Lol. I hear ya buddy. Thanks for the comment Scot.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm You know I'm just "yanking yer chain"...
Yeah I think I'll stick with an older non regen machine....That regen crap seems to rear its ugly head at the worst moment...
Good thing about Branson, up to 50 HP, is that the Emission system is a addon after the fact. So you can just take the DOC off, replace with a muffler, unplug the data logger and you have a old school tractor running perfectly and without emission crap.
Gotta love the EPA
@@pedrobatista4439 WHAT????? TRUE HANK?????
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Indeed! I mean, I understand that we need to save the environment but there are lots of ways to reduce the emissions, why use a system that basically turned perfectly reliable engines, into money pits? I've seen several big rigs and big tractors with the engines getting rebuilt with very low mileage just because of these emission systems.
Your review sounds more like a infomercial than a critical review
Is there nothing about the tractor that you didnt like?
No sir. I’ve got 280 hours on it now and love it. The only thing that I think could be better is strictly operator preference. The location of the hazard light button is literally the only thing I’d change.
You spend a pile of time in a tractor you'll learn to appreciate a radio. Talking to yourself gets old sometimes.
Lol. I do a lot of praying 😊👍
He makes me Laugh when he says it’s powerful a tractor 😂😂😂😂 And when he said the rear end is beefy. Mannn ye yanks are funny.GET YOURSELF A RIGHT TRACTOR NOT A 60HP WHEELBARROW FFS A FORD 4610 PROBS HAS MORE GO THAN THAT.
For a guy who has only music posted on his channel, you must be an expert. LMAO
it's all in perspective. What am I gonna do with a huge ag tractor?
Hamiltonville Farm Fair enough lad I was just saying my opinion 🤙🏻 Just not a fan of these cheaper low hp tractors
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Cheers Hank
