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!

You need to think a bit more about the trailer. A 10k gross trailer should weigh in at what ~3000 lbs? Whatever, at 3k empty weight, you only have 7k left.
I think 4,000 pounds over is pushing it too much.
My other question would be about the 6 foot brush hog. The 7520 will easily handle much more than that. I bought a ten footer for mine though I have not yet had it out.
Thing is, if you have a lot of acerage to mow, that 6 footer may waste too much of your time. You end up with about a five foot swath due to trying to keep your overlaps right so you don't miss spots.
Great tractor though, I really like mine so far.
