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.
Thanks,

Don't know about the prices, but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt you should load those rears before you take delivery. When I test drove my 6000 4wd/FEL, I noted that with the bucket off the ground (tractor on gravel), every time I let out on the clutch, the rears (then unloaded) would turn slightly (in forward or revervse). This was with nothing in bucket. I can't imagine how light the rear would feel with a ton or so of rock in the bucket. As far as remotes, what will you use the tractor for? For haying, you should get 2, if you aren't gonna use more than one cly in the rear, you only need one. However, more is better (I only have one on the 6000 and it rarely gets used--but I don't hay with it). BobG in VA
