Was told by the Case dealer that you don't need rear remotes for the backhoe. Supposedly they use the hydraulic connections from the 3-point hitch to connect to the backhoe. Does this make sense to anyone?

Could someone explain the different sorts of hydraulic remotes? I read in another thread a guy had stackables (?), but they were wrong for his tractor.

Have also been considering a Kubota M5040 HDC (50 hp engine) w/cab & LA1153 loader, 2 rear remotes, 4WD, R4's. The rear end on the Kubota looks heftier than the NH and Case. Should I be comparing this to the DX60 and the NH 4060/T2420? Or is it comparable to different models in those makes? Would really appreciate thoughts on what models are comparable across Kubota, New Holland and Case in the 50-60 hp range. Apples to apples...

Thanks for everyone's responses. I've learned a lot from you guys and have a lot more to learn. Keep 'em comin'!

What a wealth of information this site is!
