[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1495712, member: 18945"] Branson is a 3-way cross. Farmtrac/Montana/Branson. (actually a 4 way..maybe even 5,6 or 7 way cross) Montana came about thru LS, which itself was a division of LG Cable/LS Cable..depending what time period you look at. LG (Lucky Goldstar) is part of LG Cable, a Korean company..makes everything from TVs to refrigerators to farm equipment. They made tractors for LG, LG-Fiat and LG-New Holland, LG Montana, some Indian outfit called TAFE, LongAgri and Farmtrac. Branson had the manufacturing facilities and Montana had the financing. And yes. The old saying "There's no replacement for displacement" (cubic inches) is no longer true. How do you think all the vehicle manufacturers are getting HP out of little 4 cyl engines that used to be seen only in big bore or long stroke engines? 4 valves, better OH cam dynamics, better fuel injection, turbos and even superchargers (or both) mean high revs and high output HP. Torque at low engine rpm suffered some but that was alleviated thru the transmission and final drive ratios. I really like the Farmtracs and almost bought one but they had some manufacturing quality problems, then went belly up about 2 weeks after I looked at them. [/QUOTE]
