Troy,
Where are you getting these quotes? I bought my 6520 4 WD w/ KMW 275 loader AND a Bradco 511 backhoe from Top Flight Equipment on FM 105 just east of Conroe. Their number is (936) 756-9797. Tell anyone you talk to there (if you haven't been there before) that Brandi told you about them.
They will treat you nice. They usually have a 4530 and a 5530 on the lot.
Yesterday morning they had a 5500
sitting there also, along with two 6520s and one 7520. They have good service and an excellant mechanic.
Oh yeah, if you need a backhoe for some work, let me know. We can work something out. I am two miles east of Willis.
Oh yeah.............Rake Sales in Cleveland can set you up with any style grapple.
Rakesales.com They can include it with your tractor package if you like.
hugs, Brandi
