After over 100 hours of use, I can tell exactly how this tractor hold sup to South Dakota homesteading.

We are a Christian family of 7 living on the plains of South Dakota on a small acreage that we call our homestead. Plain Living came about as a way to enlighten others about everything that goes into planting a church in America, living on the plains, and simple living. We have lived full time in an RV, traveled the country, learned multiple trade skills, served in many capacities in the past 15 years. Our next endeavor is a plane ministry- one more layer to the play on words of “Plain Living”!

Thanks for the video, brother. I just retired out of the Navy and bought 18 acres in WV. Looking at this exact one wondering many of the things you've discussed. God bless you and thank you!

You appear to be rugged manly straight forward no nonsense made in the USA dude 💪🏻

[JohnBraman]

TYM owns Branson, the Bad Boy is based upon Bransons legacy models of 3515 series I believe? I have a T474. The Kukje engines are most excellent engines, I have 543h on mine since 2020.

@PlainLivingSD, are you able to use a 6 ft rotary cutter on this unit?

[JohnBraman]

rear lights, change them to led bulbs.

My filter is what you said is straight on my Bad Boy 4035. I just hit 122 hrs and my DPF light is on and a secondary light. Both are blinking. I put parking brake on and raised idle to 2600 rpm's for half hr and still flashing. Have you had to go through regen?

[JohnBraman]

regen isn't a big deal. when it's time, just open the throttle more and keep working and let it do it's thing. that way you don't lose work time having it parked doing regen.
