I'm going to have a 3rd rear remote added. About how much should that cost me? Anything else I should add at this point?

I need to get a trailer to haul this thing. It looks to me like it'll weigh around 11k pounds. That right? (Tractor=7+k, loaded tires 1k, loader 1k, backhoe 1500) How long of a deck will I need to accomodate the loader/bucket and the hoe? Anybody haul anything like this with a smaller trailer? I don't want to spend for more than I need, and I'm thinking a 10k gross weight tandem axle can probably do it fine.

Thanks! Can't wait!
The loader weighs around 2,000 lbs. My 6520 4WD, ML275 loader and 511 backhoe weighs in at 11,080 pounds. That is not with loaded tires. That is on the salvage yard's scale. The backhoe buckets add weight also. I think mine hits around 1600 pounds.
hugs, Brandi
