Congradulations on your decision, and welcome to club blue. I'll bet you probabably paying as much for both the First Choice RFM and the BB, as you would for just the Woods RFM. No matter which loader you decide to go with, you should get a heavy duty bucket, it will last a lot longer. And see if the dealer will weld at least a pair of chain hooks in the corners of the top leading edge of the bucket. Thats fairly standard procedure, very handy for picking up heavy/bulky items. I have a third hook at the middle of the top leading edge,even handier that way. Although if you place a hook there, you should add a plate or angle on the bottom of the top of the bucket. This keeps you from bending the top of the bucket.
Did you tell your New Holland dealer about all the free publicity he will be getting?
Also curious as to which tires you went with?
In regards to that First Choice rear finish mower. I would recomend going with the pneaumatic tires, they are little easier on the turf. And the optional front anti- scalp roller is a very good investment. You may not need it on those athletic feilds, but if you take it anywhere else where you have to transition from flat to a slope or back its invaluable. Maybe you can talk your dealer into picking up the First Choice line.
Well glad I could offer some assistance. Keep us posted as to when you get her. I'm also curious as to what sort of deal you finally end up with.
