    First, sorry for the fuzzy photo. Second, this is NOT mine! But..........my very good friend and neighbor just traded in his 17 year old Kioti for a new Branson 3520R - delivered today and the pic is him pulling in the yard on his first trip. He let me use 20160513_160017.jpg the Kioti any time I wanted and he said he can't wait for me to start using it. So......even though I don't have a new (or any) tractor, this feels like I almost do! The PTO box is pretty big and the PTO can raise 3000lb - we plan to try it out with a bunch of green oak I bucked about a month ago in his woods - fun! Cheers!

    Absolute prima facie case of You Suck! Unless, of course, we can borrow it too! J/K
    Do tell us how it goes with the oak, and don't mess up the pretty paint. :tractor:

    Plan is for some work on Monday - will get pics of how the PTO box works out - we plan to try a bucket load and box load together and see what we can haul. Cheers!

    Power take off box. It's like a bucket on the back of the tractor... big box that goes up and down like a table.

    Is it powered by the PTO or raised by the 3 point hitch lift arms?
