I started looking for a new mid range tractor in April '07 and gave up in July of that year. I shopped blue, orange, 2 reds, green and orange. Found nothing to suit me. They were nice but each had it's on dislike. So one day in Sept., I was driving down the interstate (rubbernecking farm machinery as usual) and saw this lineup of red (another red) tractors that looked really nice and had the main ingredients I was looking for outside (cab, 4wd, loader).

I bought a Branson 6530 ( 65 hp engine, 57 drawbar), in Sept. 2007, just before the stock market started to tank in November.

Made by Kukji Heavy equipment in Korea who have been building things of the sort since 1969. It has 4wd, loader, and cab with climate controls. Engine is a Cummins direct injected,4 cylinder diesel built by Komatsu (also a heavy equipment mfgr.) in Japan under the Cummins license.

It has a lot of whistles and bells like shuttle shift, 24 forward speeds, automatic 3 pt controls, 3 PTO speeds, Live or Ind. PTO, joy stick loader controls wipers with washers front and rear, cab lights front and rear, rear window opens, sun roof.

The seat is a high back air ride with built in air compressor just like the OTR trucks have....like riding on a cloud. Funny, the only problem I have had since purchasing, is the power to the air seat which was installed here in the US at the POE facility/"Factory"/US Distributor or whatever you call it. Their wire routing didn't take into consideration that the seat moves up and down and at low air pressure could bottom out. When it did that it cut the wires and shorted things out. I have redone the wiring and that's that.

Very sweet tractor and you absolutely would not believe what this tractor can do on nothing for fuel. When I sold my JD 4230 2wd (100 hp pto) I had a JD 12' 24 shank, 6" sweep cultivator with 3 row spring finger spreaders, which I kept. This little sucker can pull that plow in B2 hi (ABC, 1234, gearing with hi-lo for 24 gears)
and only loads the engine 100 rpm at 2400.

A little lengthy, but the question was asked and I answered it.

Oh the other thing that NONE of the previously shopped dealers did was to take 3 tractors in on trade. Tractor was $37k with a 4 year power train warranty and I got $13k trade in on the other tractors.

I am a happy camper.
