Dave’s Tractor here in Red Bluff Ca. absolutely the BEST!
Great video dude
David did a fantastic overview of the tractor ❗️❗️👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just bought a Branson 2515 and didn't get nearly as much info from my dealer as this. Very informative and knowledgeable dealer. Thanks.
Congratulations on your new tractor. So glad this video was helpful. I have a whole playlist ( ruclips.net/p/PL8T-iSUAEa2QWRRPtDuLHEtsVFH-vzFXS&si=S-KOB1Attu4V0FtK ) on this tractor, including a thorough 50hr maintenance. Hope this helps.

David did an amazing job. Great video!!
Thanks for the support. And yes, David knows his stuff. Not just a salesman. He went out and welded on some additional parts (and painted up like new) for me because his guys were busy. He didn't want me to have to come back later. He's the real deal.
Thanks for your comments and for watching my channel.
just purchased a TYM 2515h w/ backhoe myself on 6/28/24!
Pretty damm exciting..!
That's fantastic! Congratulations! I've loved mine, as you can see in the many videos I have where I'm using my 2515. I hope you have the same great experience with it that I've had.
Thanks so much for sharing your good news and for watching my channel. Enjoy your new tractor..
Nice looking 928 sitting there by the tractor! Really good overview of the tractor too!
Thanks for the support. Here's a closer look at the Porsche with its back story ( ruclips.net/video/4-yAxK9NYlo/видео.html ). And thanks for watching. Much appreciated.
I have the 2020 2515H, Rear hydraulic remotes were an option. I had them added later.
I'm at 550 hours of heavy work. I dug most of a 1/3 acre surface, 4 acre ft pond with it.
Overall a very good machine. Any issues were due to my making errors.... except a routing issue with the throttle cable to the hydrostatic pedals. The factory routing resulted in binding and breaks the cable. They gave me a new cable. I put it in and zip-tied to alter routing and prevent the issue. Should solve the problem for many years.
The mechanic is showing under the hood and not using the hydraulic cylinder blocks that are mounted to the loader stand. Pull a pin and place the block on the ram so the loader CAN'T come down via leakdown.
I find these blocks to be a little shorter than they should be, but they are much safer than relying on the joystick lock.
Use the blocks or cut C channel a bit longer. The life you save might be your own.
You can get the oil dipstick without opening the hood.
The water bowl for the fuel has a drain... I've only opened that to ensure it will drain every 100 hr drip a bit of fuel out. If you are getting water in your fuel, get your fuel somewhere else or you have a problem with your on site delivery fuel tank. You should never get water in the fuel if getting it by the 5 gallon jug at the gas station.
Your loader will pick the back of the tractor off the ground with fluid fill tires + brush hog + 400 lb of concrete bags on the back of the loader.
You won't get to the lift limit of the loader.
Backdragging improperly is the #1 reason people bend the loader or loader hydraulic rams.
Hey. Great to hear you're still loving your Branson after having owned and used it so much. And thanks for all the great tips. Much appreciated.
I have been interested in buying a new tractor for a few years now. I was going to get either a Massey Ferguson or a Kubota compact tractor. My friend bought a TYM T25 and loves that tractor. I thought i better do my due diligence and check out TYM.
Compared to the Massey 1825e, the ease of ingress and egress for the TYM 2515H is amazing. The step through, the seat adjustment and lumbar support are fantastic.
The Kubota L series is a much smaller frame compared to the TYM 2515H. And the Kubota is more pricey.
Big selling point for me is metal hood, metal fenders, ease of maintenance and fuel addition. Plus, this tractor is built like a tank for how robust it is.
Getting one this week.
I agree with all the things you said. I love mine. Glad you're friend encouraged you to look around. Thanks for your comments and for watching my channel. If you haven't already done so, check out my website ( twc-projects.net ) for lots of helpful resources and subscribe to @twc-projects.
Great walk through done by the dealer. Nice machine. I have a 4820 and loving it so far.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and for watching. Have a fantastic day.
David, Please do this kind of walk around for 3520H 🙂
I love my 5220c. 48hp, factory cab (same as the one next to yours) perfect for my hobby farm and blowing snow in the Canadian winter.
It's not the 300hp JD we have on the family cattle ranch, but for home, it's incredible. The lack of electronics is what drew me in to Branson.
Nice. Sounds awesome. I originally had wanted 37hp, but couldn't find one used or new within my budget. Plus, needed something light weight enough that I could tow with my car hauler trailer, and small enough to maneuver in the woods, with enough lifting capacity for moving logs.
The 300hp John Deere sounds like a serious farm tractor to me. Nice! Thanks for sharing your comments and for watching. Much appreciate it. Keep watching and commenting.
👏I am happy for You
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Will use normal start procedure as per manual - thank you for your reply and insights on this subject.
Great video. I'm going to buy the TYM 2515
That's awesome! I still love mine. Hope you enjoy yours and get lots of good use out of it. Thanks for watching and sharing..
Thanks good video
Thanks. If you haven't already seen, there's a playlist for all my tractor related videos-- Branson Tractor: ruclips.net/p/PL8T-iSUAEa2QWRRPtDuLHEtsVFH-vzFXS
Thanks for your comments and for watching.
Great video! Just got mine today!!
Awesome! Congratulations! Hope you love it and find it as invaluable as I do.
Thanks for sharing and for watching.
I recommend the xx20 series tractors over 2515h. More lift FEL, more ballast with larger wheels, more comfortable joystick
Nice. Thanks for your suggestion, and thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Great looking tractor. I went green as my closest Branson dealer is 90 minutes away.
I've been very happy with my Branson so far, but you probably can't go wrong going green. Hope you enjoy it and get as much use out of it as I do out of my tractor. Thanks for watching.
Dealer told me to turn the key to on three time to heat up the glow plug. Since this practice may induce early failure will start from normal start when the indicator goes out.
Interesting. I've been told by several people that the black smoke is normal, especially for a diesel without the regen cycler. I just watch for the glow plug light to go out and then starts every time, no matter how cold. Not sure if I want to add 3x the ware & tare on my ignition system to avoid a little black smoke at start-up. I'll keep that in mind though and try it sometime to see if it works. Thanks again for your comments and follow-up response. Much appreciated.
Nicely done on the walk around. On this model, 2515H is it necessary to turn the key to on 3x before starting? Less black smoke at start up - is that normal? Good tractor. Will be fitting a Landpride quik hitch and Worksaver 60" box blade to clear an easement for trenching.
Not sure what you meant Richard about 3x key turns and black smoke. But the quick hitch and box blade sounds great. Let me know how you like the quick hitch. Hope your project goes well. Thanks for your comments and for watching.
I also bought a 2515H from Lake Anna Tractor. What a nightmare! One excuse after another on delivery, and over 6 months trying to get insurance work done on it. Owner is unresponsive and can't keep his stories straight. Final price of my 2515H with accessories was not much cheaper than a JD 3025 similarly equipped. Wish I had gone green just because of the dealer.
The Branson itself is a decent enough tractor in low range. With the FEL and boxblade mounted, it won't go up a 6% grade in high or midrange.
The biggest issue I have is the lack of availability of service manuals or parts catalogs. Buying parts from the dealer is an expensive proposition.
An overarching problem is the dealer network. When Lake Anna Tractor tanks, or drops Branson, the next closest dealer is 157 miles away.
Sorry to hear you've had such troubles. I totally agree with you about lacking power in mid to high range. I find myself having to switch down to low range more than I expected to get up an incline. I was so focused on stable lifting capacity, when doing my research, which requires more weight, that I didn't think about the trade-off. More weight is good for not tipping over, but also means more power is needed to move all that weight around. I'm getting used to it though and still feel it's worth being able to lift heavier stuff. I have the UTV for running around quickly and climbing hills. More power is always better, but also more expensive when it comes to tractors so this was a good value for me.
Hope you get everything sorted out. Thanks for watching.
I also purchased from Lake Anna Tractor! I got a 3515h back in July of last year. Been really happy with it so far. I’m in the Spotsylvania area. Hope you’re still enjoying the tractor! Where’d you score the hat?? Looks great!
Hey Phillip. That's awesome. I am loving the tractor and can't wait to get more hours on it soon. Glad you're liking yours as well.
Got the hat from David Hicks (service manager). Has "Lake Anna Tractor & Hardware" embroidered on the back.
Feel free to ping me at tedwclark@gmail.com if you want to chat more off-line about what you're up to with your tractor or things you'dlike me to feature on my channel.
Thanks for your comments and for watching. Please share with your friends if you think they might enjoy this channel.
Thanks for the vedio. Nice tractor. My tractor has the hydrostatic transmission and when I go down even the smallest incline it jumps in and out of gear. Does yours do that? It goes up an incline with no problems.
I have hydrostatic transmission as well, but no issues with jumping in or out of gear. I do notice when in mid range gear, on an incline, I either have to manually push my throttle up, or if I'm carrying too much of a load, I have to stop and shift into low. I figured that's to be expected of only 25hp. I'm already amazed at what I can do with that small of an engine.
Thanks for your comments and for watching .
Great bud thank you! Just bought a Branson '21 2515H. One question I had, where did you get the hat, at the dealer? Thanks!
Thanks! Yes. My dealer gave it to me when I bought the tractor.
Thanks for watching and your comments.
Could you tell me what aftermarket 3rd function you got installed in on the front? Is there a model or serial number or something? I'm wanting to install one on my 2515H, but would prefer not to do the Branson bypass one. Thanks!
WR Long 3rd function kit. You can find a dealer near you by going here: www.wrlonginc.com/dealerlocator
I'll have to take a close look next time I use it to see if there is a model # on it. I won't have my root grapple for another 4+ months, but I'll be sure to share how well this 3rd function works once I get to use it.
Thanks for your comments and for watching.
Called this dealer yesterday and they quoted me 23500$ for the 2515h which is almost 4000$ more than they are listed online at other dealers for hopefully you got a better price than they told me over the phone I was ready to make the 1 1/2 hour drive to the dealer before he told me the price looks like I will settle for a bobcat 2025 hst for 2000$ dollars less
Thanks for sharing. Yes, I got a much better price, but inflation has made everything go through the roof in the last 8 months. Sorry it didn't work out for you, but glad you didn't waste your time driving out there only to be frustrated.
I originally was trying to buy a skid steer, but just couldn't even find a 10yr old one for less money than brand new Branson, so I went that route. And my truck and trailer aren't rated for more than 5K load, so I could only haul a small skid steer, which didn't have the lift capacity I wanted. Hope the skid steer is perfect for your needs. Let me know how it works out.
So what is the difference between the branson 2515h, and the Tym 2515h 🤔
That's a great question. When I bought the Branson, TYM had just purchased them. I think starting 2023, they are now one in the same, meaning the Branson line is now called TYM. I say that because the Branson website now directs me to TYM site.
Thanks for your question and for watching.
What year model is this? I'm trying to decide on a tractor and I like the weight and capacities of branson. Seems like they improve the weaknesses each year.
Thank you.
I'm going to say it's a 2022. I ordered in Dec 2021 and received it in Jan 2022. Not sure exactly how tractor model years work, if they are like car model years or not, but I do know that the brand new 2021 model I test drove in Dec didn't have a one of new things that mine does. I just checked all my paperwork and can't find a model year anywhere on it, which struck me as strange. But I do know this thing was fresh off the boat. I doubt you can find 2018 or newer used 2515h for sale, unless it has been abused with a lot of hours on it. As you also said, they keep making improvements to things as they hear back from customers. So be prepared for a wait when you order one. I was super lucky that I received mine in about 30 days.
Good luck. Hope this help you figure out what you want to do. Thanks for your comments and for watching.
@@twc-projects i was lucky enough to buy mine right off the lot (5220). It's the best small tractor ive ever used (I've been driving tractors since I was a child, my family owns a 3500 acre cattle ranch). It's not what I use on the ranch, but on my 120 acre hobby farm, its the perfect tractor.
I love everything about the branson tractor s except one thing that is major to me. The loader valve and hydraulic coupler location is absolutely horrible. If they offer a fender mounted joystick with the couplers down under the floorboard, I'd be sold. Otherwise I'm still strongly considering a kioti
I've heard others say the same thing, it totally makes sense. I've only known this setup, so I guess I just got used to it and don't mind it. I think the rational was for ease of removing the whole loader setup.
Regardless, thanks for your comments and for watching.
