ENGINE DETAIL

The Branson 4020R tractor features a compact and efficient Kukje A1700T1 turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 1.7L, producing 40hp at 2600 RPM, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. With a fuel consumption rate of 2.1 gal/hour, it offers a balance between power and efficiency, but potential users should consider its dry air cleaner which may require more frequent maintenance in dusty environments. The 21.3:1 compression ratio allows for effective combustion, enhancing torque delivery, although warm-up times may be longer due to the reliance on glow plugs for pre-heating in colder conditions.

TRANSMISSION

The Branson 4020R features a syncro shuttle transmission, allowing for seamless forward and reverse gear changes—ideal for precision work in tight spaces. Its 12 forward and reverse gears provide versatility for various applications, although mastering gear selection may present a learning curve for some operators. The dry disc clutch can offer longer durability but might require more force to engage compared to wet clutches, impacting operator fatigue during prolonged use.

MECHANICAL

The Branson 4020R features a robust 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction on varied terrains, making it ideal for agricultural applications. Its hydrostatic power steering offers improved maneuverability, while the wet disc brakes provide superior stopping power under heavy loads. The 12-speed syncro shuttle transmission allows for smooth gear transitions, which is advantageous for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, like loader work.

BRANSON 4020R TIRES

The Branson 4020R tractor features versatile tire options; agricultural tires (9.5x16 front and 12.4x28 rear) maximize traction for fieldwork, while lawn/turf and industrial options cater to varying terrains and applications. The choice of wider tires (LSW610R470) can reduce soil compaction for landscape work, although they may limit maneuverability in tight spaces. For optimal performance, consider the primary application: ag tires are better for heavy-duty farm tasks, while turf tires are suited for landscaping and lawn care.
