ENGINE DETAIL
The Branson 3520R tractor features a Kukje A1700N2-R diesel engine with a robust 21.3:1 compression ratio, allowing efficient combustion for its 35hp output at a rated RPM of 2600. Its fuel consumption is moderate at 2.1 gallons per hour, making it suitable for tasks requiring sustained operation, albeit with considerations for fuel management. The dry air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating system enhance engine reliability in cold-start conditions, though the absence of a wet air cleaner may necessitate more frequent maintenance in dusty environments.

BRANSON 3520R ENGINE
The Branson 3520R tractor is powered by a Kukje 1.7L three-cylinder diesel engine, providing robust torque for efficient fieldwork. With a fuel tank capacity of 9.3 gallons (35.2 liters), it offers a balance between operational efficiency and weight management for various agricultural tasks. However, potential users should consider the limited fuel capacity for extended operations, which may require frequent refueling during demanding workdays.

TRANSMISSION
The Branson 3520R features a syncro shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, facilitating smooth directional changes, making it ideal for tasks requiring frequent maneuvering. The dry disc clutch provides durability and reliability, although it might be less forgiving under heavy load conditions compared to wet clutches. This configuration is optimal for both agricultural applications and utility work but may pose challenges in heavy-duty operations where clutch wear is a concern.

MECHANICAL
The Branson 3520R features a robust 4x4 MFWD configuration, providing excellent traction and stability across varied terrain, making it ideal for farming or utility work. The hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, while the 12-speed syncro shuttle transmission allows for smooth gear transitions, increasing productivity during field operation. However, the two-post foldable ROPS cab may limit operator protection in rollover scenarios compared to enclosed models.
