I am looking at the Mahindra 4530 and 5530, which I know are very similar, but I may want the extra PTO HP offered by the 5530.

Anyway, I am getting FEL, Box Blade, Brush Hog, Grappler, Disks, Bale Spear, seeder and perhaps forks. Man that is going to hurt! I cannot justify the cost associated with a back hoe although I sure do want one. If I get a medium grade grapple do you think I would be able to use that with my FEL to get out stumps?

If I go with the 5530 I am not sure there is a need to fill the tires considering it is a tank, but I will listen to arguments.

I will have hooks added to the FEL

Now what else do I need? I have read extra remotes are nice, but I am not sure how many I need and where they should be placed.

I own 27 acres that needs lots of work. About 10 acres pasture, that need a serious overhaul and I need to do some logging (light) and lots of brush clean up. Help my poor 1000 foot bumpy driveway. Move round bails... etc...
I have a quote for both with FEL?..Does the increase for the 5530 seem unreasonable? How do the prices look overall?
4530 $19,600.00
5530 $22,200.00

I live North of Houston in New Caney

Thanks,
Troy
