We stock the full line of Branson Tractors and tractor packages. You can browse them all below. Our experts are also here to help you choose the right Tractor for your jobs. We’re just a phone call, text or email away.Other manufactures offer economy or down specification models to offer cheap prices. Branson tractors don’t remove features such as 3 range transmission or synchronized range shift to offer cheap prices. We offer full spec engines and transmission and well as including all the optional extras to make sure you get the best value possible. Branson Tractor have also included an over-ratio rear PTO in most of their tractor range meaning that the required 540 rpm for most rear implements is achieved @ 2600 RPM instead of full engine RPM giving even greater fuel economy for PTO functions such as slashing. At Branson Tractors Australia we want to give you the best quality tractor possible at an affordable price. It’s worth spending a little more to receive a tractor that runs smooth, is easy to operate and will keep looking good for a lifetime because that’s what you deserve.

In operating the tractor the first thing you notice is how easily all the gears select with the synchro-mesh gearbox. The factory fitted loader control valve provides smooth and controlled loader operations complemented beautifully with the synchro-mesh forward/reverse shuttle lever for fast and easy direction changes.

We also are well experienced in Chinese tractors while they seen amazing value for money there are some downsides not obvious to new tractor buyers. The engine technology used in Chinese tractors is very old, the engines tend to be noisy and run rough compared to a Japanese or Korean engine. The gearboxes used in Chinese tractors are mostly non-synchronized, like the old crash box in the truck. Gearshifts are difficult and clunky and often you are not able to shift on the move like you would with a synchronized gearbox in the Branson Tractors. While they look nice and shiny in the showroom you often find your new pride and joy doesn’t look so good 12 months down the road as paint quality and surface preparation tends to lack on most Chinese tractors.It make sense, not only do Branson Tractors deliver excellent value for money during the purchase process they continue to deliver cost savings for the life of the tractor.

When comparing compact tractors horsepower alone does not tell the whole story. Many compact tractors, no matter how famous the brand name, are build on light chassis. Not only may such concepts be questionable when it comes to durability , it leads to problems with transferring horsepower to the ground where it is needed the most. Lighter tractors produce excessive wheel slippage and suffer from imbalances when implements such as loaders and slashers are added. Adding additional ballast can fix these problems but can be expensive and also inconvenient.Looking great is one thing but its the unseen that makes the Branson really shine. The ergonomic suspension seat gives the operator a comfortable seating position with easy access to all levers and controls and makes you feel like you can work all day. Turn the key and the Cummins engine comes to life quickly running smooth and quite.

The Cummins engines used exclusively throughout the Branson Tractor range in fact produce more horsepower than the claimed horsepower on the side of the tractor. What does this mean for you? You only need to run the engine @ 2600 RPM to get what you paid for. In turn lower revving engines run closer to the maximum torque of the engine making the tractor feel more grunty and they use less fuel, run quieter & cooler ultimately saving you money.

Branson build concept is a little different, the ballast is build into the chassis of the tractor, the weight is where you need it most to get the horse power to the ground and at the same time you get a much stronger and sturdier tractor.

FPT Industrial ships engines from Italy for the Arion 400 and Axion 800 and 900, while John Deere’s Saran plant in France supplies diesel power for the Arion 500 and 600 tractors.

Power comes from Mercedes-Benz branded off-highway versions of Daimler OM engines prepared by MTU, a division of Rolls-Royce Power Systems, in Friedrichshafen, north-west Germany.Historically, the larger 6-series tractors (170hp-250hp) were also built in Waterloo for the US market, but this arrangement is coming to an end, which means Mannheim will now build all 6R models for global sale. Engines are also built locally, at the Linnavuori factory to the south-west of the tractor plant, while cabs for the Suolahti-built models are assembled in Yliharma, to the north-west. The T9 artics are from the Fargo plant in North Dakota, using powershift transmissions from Univance in Japan and Auto Command stepless transmissions from the Eccom range of ZF.

An integrated manufacturing and assembly plant for transmissions, engines and finished products in Chennai, southern India, produces Tafe tractors for manufacturer Tractors and Farm Equipment.

Further afield, Austria, France, Germany and Italy have managed to retain tractor production on a large scale, as have Japan and the United States – the latter being the source for the majority of the highest horsepower models used in Britain.The Magnum is assembled in Racine, Wisconsin, on the west bank of Lake Michigan, using CNH powershift and stepless transmissions also built there, and front axles from Dana’s Spicer range.Claas outsources its smaller, more specialist tractors – the Nexos orchard and Elios farm models are built by the Agritalia unit of Carraro Group in Rovigo, north-east Italy, while the Atos 200 and 300 come from SDF Group’s Treviglio factory further west.

But production of simpler Farmall A tractors is shared by Jesi (85A to 115A) and CNH’s Türk Traktör joint venture in Ankara, Turkey, which also produces the FPT S8000 engine that powers them.

Components are manufactured and assembled at three Argo Tractors plants in northern Italy, where powershift and CVT transaxles and front axles for all models up to 140hp are built in-house.

The Winnipeg headquarters factory of Buhler Industries in Manitoba, Canada, builds the big four-wheel-drive and Delta Track articulated tractors, using powershift transmissions from Caterpillar’s Peoria plant in the US and Cummins X15 engines from Jamestown, New York. Front axles from Dana’s Spicer range produced in Italy include the central housing and independent wishbone suspension units on the new 900 and 1000 Vario models. For the larger M7003 Series tractors, Kubota set up an assembly-only plant in Dunkirk on the northern French coast, using engines from Japan and transmissions from ZF.In many cases, the manufacturers make the engines, transmissions and cabs that go into the finished products, or source major components from independent suppliers such as Carraro, Cummins, Dana, Deutz, FPT Industrial, Perkins and ZF, and local cab suppliers.Cab production is in a dedicated plant nearby, while Dyna-4 and Dyna-6 powershift transmissions for all models are manufactured and assembled in the Gima joint venture with Claas that forms part of the main factory complex. From 100hp up, engines are sourced from the relatively new Doosan Infracore compact diesel operation at the port city of Incheon to the north-west of the tractor plant. Cab production is more diverse – for the T4 F/N/V and T5 Utility and Electro Command, glazed frames from Cab Plus in Jesi are “dressed” in the tractor plant.Production of Fendt tractors is concentrated in the Bavarian town of Marktoberdorf, southern Germany, along with the Vario stepless transmissions that go into them.

Today, only CNH Industrial’s New Holland plant in Essex survives as a major tractor assembly centre, with JCB’s Fastrac production line near Cheadle, Staffordshire, being the only other source of UK-built tractors.

While that remains true for the Proxima and Forterra, the Major and top-end Crystal models also built there now have Deutz engines from Germany. The 43-49hp Perkins-engined Utilix and 68hp Deutz-powered Hortus are sourced from TYM of South Korea.

These feature powershift units from Univance in Japan and a ZF CVT from the Eccom range built in Passau, south-east Germany, and the town of Steyr in Austria.The 2 Series compacts, Rex 3 orchard and Trekker crawler tractors are all assembled at the San Martino in Rio factory near Modena, along with cab versions of the Rex 4 fruit tractors.

Although tractor sales growth in China has stalled over the past two years, the trend towards better-equipped machines – and big investments there by Western manufacturers – have strengthened the country’s potential for export sales.CMatic stepless units for the Arion 500 come from Claas Industrietechnik in Paderborn, Germany, and for the larger models from ZF Friedrichshafen’s German and Austrian plants.This also builds Challenger versions for the North American market, but the bigger 1100 MT has a locally-built cab and a powershift transmission from Caterpillar’s factory in Peoria, Illinois.

Argo’s own powershift transmissions go into the 70-140hp X4M to X6.4 models – plus the X6.4’s VT-Drive stepless option – while orchard and vineyard tractors are built in the Luzzara and San Martino in Rio factories nearby.Both series have a bespoke chassis fabricated by GKN Wheels & Structures in Telford, Shropshire, while driver accommodation is produced by JCB Cab Systems in a new factory near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire.

Cabs for TD5 models are shipped from Yaris Kabin in Turkey, where CNH’s Türk Traktör joint venture builds New Holland T4 and T4S models powered by FPT S8000 engines.Towards the lower end of the range, the 5M tractors are sourced from a John Deere factory in Augusta, Georgia, while the 5E comes from Deere’s Hadapsar factory near Pune, south-east of Mumbai, India.

Tractors carrying the Kioti export brand of Daedong Industries are assembled along with engines up to 73hp at Dalseong-gun near Daegu, in the south-east of South Korea.The 500 to current 900 Vario models have Deutz power; and the new Fendt 900 and 1000 Vario tractors have diesels from the newly formed MAN Engines unit of MAN Truck & Bus in Nuremberg, southern Germany.

All Deutz-Fahr tractors in the 6, 7 and 9 Series – from 126hp to 336hp – are built in a new factory at Lauingen, 80 miles north-west of Munich in southern Germany.Check the map below to see which manufacturers are based in which countries – we’ve divided them into components and tractor assembly, cabs, engines and axles/transmissions.

Tractors supplied under the Armatrac export brand of Turkish manufacturer Erkunt Traktör Sanayi are assembled in the town of Sincan, on the outskirts of the Turkish capital Ankara.

The factory in St Valentin, northern Austria, assembles all Luxxum (formerly Farmall Pro), Vestrum, Maxxum, Puma and Optum tractors for the UK, using transmissions from CNH’s Antwerp facility in Belgium and FPT engines from Turin, north-west Italy.As one of the core plants producing Massey Ferguson tractors for global markets, the factory in Beauvais, northern France, turns out five series from the 5700 Dyna-4 to the 8700 S Dyna-VT.

The VT-Drive stepless transmissions for the X8 and X7 models are built in ZF’s German and Austrian plants, along with the X7’s P6-Drive powershift transaxles.All of the Finnish marque’s mainstream products, comprising the A, N and T series, are built at the Suolahti factory in the south of the country, with the exception of the flagship S4 series produced in Massey Ferguson’s Beauvais plant.

Cabs, transmissions, front axles and engines are also produced there, but the smaller capacity Farmotion diesels are shipped from SDF’s Indian factory.Tractors carrying the Solis export brand of India’s International Tractors Limited (ITL) are manufactured in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, alongside transmissions and engines. Smaller compact models are sourced through a partnership with Yanmar of Japan.An integrated complex of factories producing engines, transmissions and cabs feeds the assembly lines of Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ), which turns out Belarus tractors in the east European country of the same name.Cabs for all McCormick tractors come from Argo’s own facility in Fabbrico. Engines from 114-310hp are courtesy of FPT, while all smaller models get Deutz power (other than the Yanmar-powered X2 compacts).Engines for the Landini 2 Series are shipped from Yanmar’s Biwa factory, north-east of Osaka in Japan, and for the Rex 3F from Kohler Power in Reggio Emilia, 20 minutes up the road from San Martino in Rio.The business, owned by Indian group Mahindra since 2017, sources transmissions from Carraro Group, which has plants in Italy, India and China, and engines from Deutz in Cologne, Germany, and Perkins in Peterborough.Most use diesels from Deere’s engine plant nearby, but the top-horsepower 9R and its derivatives are powered by a 14.9-litre motor from the Jamestown factory of Cummins in Lakewood, New York.

It uses transaxles manufactured in a CNH plant in Antwerp, Belgium, fully-dressed Horizon cabs from Croix near Lille in northern France, and FPT Industrial engines from Turin, north-west Italy.While the new Same Dorado Natural range of 65-97hp tractors are built in SDF Group’s Bandirma factory in Turkey, the rest of the range comes from the headquarters plant in Treviglio, northern Italy.

The Jesi factory near the Italian port of Ancona produces the T4 specialist fruit and vineyard tractors, the TD5 and T5 families and the transmissions that go into them, while engines are from FPT in Turin.The M4002 and M5001 series tractors are built in Tsukuba near Tokyo and the M-GX series at Sakai, near Osaka, using in-house engines, transmissions and cabs.
