This is a walk around and cold start on my nearly new Branson tractor.The tractor has 100 hours on it. I bought it sight unseen and had it shipped to me.
Awesome video. I was very apprehensive when I first bought my 2515 but so far it has been a loyal companion. I think Branson/ tym can grow exponentially as the word keeps spreading
Well, I don’t want to jinx it. I sort of felt the same way before I bought this one but so far it has performed really well, and I’m sort of under stating the truth. I really overwork it. Good luck with your tractor. I think you’ll be very pleased and surprised with its durability.
Well Sir ,This was a "Mighty-Fine" Demonstration of "Walk-a-round". I Realy liked the "busted-off" backhoe tooth; it Realy shows the POWER o the backhoe. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Made a few “improvements” on mine. 1. Moved the key switch 2. Turned up the pump .. runs crisper 3. Put a turn down tip on my exhaust to keep soot off my loader arms Would like to see a few pics on your third function install, I just ran some hoses from my aux ports to a set of QD’s up front but will probably do a commercial 3rd function. These tractors are awesome for the price and size, Asian companies are very good at building machinery. Thank you for the video it was a very nice job and easy to watch.
yes these are really solid tractors i have some photos of the third function valve just dont know where I can upload them drive.google.com/file/d/1JToB-h-RobLdf6grPdiKDkk28EZb9H6Y/view?usp=share_link
yes ill send you photos, routing the hoses is easy - mine need to be secured better but yoy will need the factort bracket to terminate the hose quick disconnects at the loader bucket but I think that brscket should be there on the loader frame
I was thanking about the same tractor just not sure if 25hp is enough. They say you can turn up the fuel but I haven't seen anyone do it on this tractor yet
it is prety stout - then again so was my Kubota - I like this tractor alot and I really use the heck out of it but with only 100 hours on it I guess the jury is still out -
Its a little tank for its size. When I said I push it above its class I was not kidding. I wish I had a video of it pulling those rocks out of the ground.
Extra 750 off as of 12/24/23 if it is original Branson color and name minus TYM name. Remember Branson’s finish is powder coat. I have not been able to confirm the TYM is keeping up the powder coat with the new color anybody who knows this please respond. PS I like the Branson color better than the TYM.
Just leave it to "mahindra" to make a "flex-a-matic" grapple to prevent damage to the rest of the "Twak-tor".(was just at the Dealership)&(Just can't bring myself to buy ANTHING there).
To be fair its labeled a " rake grapple " whatever that means, I need 4 torches and extras hands to heat up all the braces then try and bend it back in shape. It still works so for now it just stays that way :)
Hello, the tractor starts fine in this cold weather - i dont know why when i started it in the video it had a rough go of it but I do ad anti gel to all my fuel in the winter . I just ran it today, started right up after about 7 days idle. Its been in the low teens here all week.
Love my 2515, but even though I treat my fuel last 2 winters it will partial gel up and won't idle up, also my throttle lever likes to freeze up. And your fuel filter housing comes off? Mine does not I have to change the whole assembly. I have found some aftermarket options but kept with OEM for now. Hoping to buy a backhoe soon

@@IronStraw1 can I give you my email ? Looking for hose touting and positions on valve

yes send me your contact info

Man, if I dropped the hood on my John Deere 4200 like that, that green plastic would be shattered like an eggshell! This is a nice setup!
It is a sturdy machine for sure - I work the hell out of it

Does the 2515 come from the factory with hydraulic ports in the rear, or is that only added on if one gets the backhoe ? Thanks.
TYM purchased Branson still selling them 😎
This is great!
thanks
That hoods "undercarage" ( brace-a-lation) seems like a Massive-Super-Structure.
it is prety stout - then again so was my Kubota - I like this tractor alot and I really use the heck out of it but with only 100 hours on it I guess the jury is still out -
fantastic vid, thanks!
Well thank you
I am trying to put together a video of the major maintenance - technologically challenged but hopefully ill get it posted by next week
Best bang for buck no doubt, I got 1 also, tym I still making this as a tym 2515h

@@IronStraw1 I need to put some videos up of my tractor escapades

Is it a diesel tractor the one that you have?😮😮😮
yes it is diesel

I just bought a dirt dog root rake grapple from my Branson dealer very hefty and substantially built. Also dirt dog is all American built in Georgia
Bad boy is essentially the same tractor fyi
Yes I mentioned teh bad boy in the video, some slight differences but mostly the same
It’s probably a yanmar engine…kukje makes the tractor
I am not sure , I know that some Bransons came with Yanmar's but I cannot find anything that ID's just the engine
The 2515 is a kukje engine. It's basically there version of a Engine Cummins builds
Just for your own knowledge, mfwd is mechanical front wheel drive.
What size brush cutter are you running ?
I have a Titan 5' brush cutter - its pretty solid USA made
Diesel could be jelling a bit in cold weather.
