So I've been looking at tractors... new and used... and I came across this. It just hit CL a few hours ago and if I were there I believe it would be sold!

Just went to look at it again and the lister has deleted it... wonder if it sold already?

That is a FANTASTIC deal!!!!

I have a Branson & love it. I also bought the backhoe....already had bushhog, disc, grader blade, post auger. Mine is smaller than this one but great for my farm. Red is my favorite color.

Starts & works with no backtalk, dirty laundry....ooops

Just edited my post... went back to look again and it's gone...

Yeah, I've been looking at the big names; Kubota, Deere, Massey Ferguson, Case... But really, I think I'll get a much better deal and lower cost and I really like the looks/specs of the Branson. Also been looking at package deals on new units. By the time I'm ready to buy it will be the end of the season and I may be able to get a close out. Tractor w/bucket, back hoe, box blade, brush hog and post digger with 20-22' trailer to pull it all on. That deal above was sweet! a month too soon for me though

It would sell here for that price in about 5 minutes. That was a nice tractor. I apparently saw it before it disappeared. We don't have a tractor. It's awful! We have to borrow my step-dads tractor for big things... Like moving our giant chicken coop. Most things we do by hand. Someday... Until then I'll be up here complaining about my back!

I agree with Bay. When the time is right, God will put the right tractor in front of you. I waited a year & a half for the right trailer, and a brand new one finally came along for a lower price than I have have yet to see. I'm giving God all the credit for that one!

Don't get a Deere if you are mechanically inclined and like fixing your own equipment.

Well, it didn't last but a couple of hours...

When I first saw it @Devonviolet , I immediately thought of you! Was so tempted to call you about it!

We found a deal on a New Holland with barely 400 hours and it's been good to us. Got a package deal on the tractor, trailer, front end loader, mower, two kinds of plows, a round hay bale mover thingy, and a blade. It's blue... I like blue.
