Yikes, $800 for an extra remote. What operation would I need 3 rear remotes for? I don't want to drop $800 for something I'll never use, but I'll be happy to if there's a good reason...

Jon,
I have a 12 and 24 inch bucket. I kick myself now for not getting a 36 inch ditching (no teeth) bucket. I used the 12 inch bucket a little, but since I installed the thumb, I will only use the 24 inch bucket until I need to run sewer ditches. The thumb meshes with the teeth on my 24 inch bucket, but not my 12 inch bucket.
Remember when you think about trailer weights, add the weight of the trailer to the tractor. My 20 foot gooseneck trailer weighs 2600 pounds on the axles while hitched to my truck. So the big
RED Beast and the trailer weigh in at 13,700 pounds. 300 pounds less than gross of 14,000 pounds.
hugs, Brandi
