I just did a bunch of research & visiting dealers & decided on a Branson 3510. I got the tractor w FEL, a 6' Midwest box scraper, 7' landscape rake, & 7' Midwest rear tilt/offset blade for about $16,300, plus tax. I read lots of good things about Branson's on websites. My conclusion was the Bransons, TYM's & the Mahindra series that is made in Japan (_15's?) should all be good tractors & the best bang for the buck out there. I've only run my Branson for a few hours so far but it's been great. It takes some time to get used to the shuttle shift, if you haven't run them before. If you read more posts, you'll see some guys think hydro is the way to go & others (like me) think shuttle shift is fine. That's one of the basic decisions you have to make. Good luck.

I have a related question for you. I need to get a rear blade & will use it alot for cleaning out old roadside ditches & just about re-digging some of them, along w some regular grading. That means alot of offset work. I think I should get at least a 7 foot blade for more offset & am considering an 8' blade. Is there any disadvantage w getting the longer blades? I also looked at a 6' Midwest blade & liked they're offset system. I have a Branson 3510 that is just under 6' wide. Thanks
