So I finally took the plunge and got a factory fresh 2012 5085M on the way.
It will be equipped with the following factory options:
And I'm picking up the following "dealer attachments" that I will be installing myself:
And it will have a loader that will be configured as follows:
And last but not least, it will come with the following attachments:
I opted not to get the side mirrors and will instead get a rear camera with a monitor.
I also will start out with no liquid ballast in the rears and see how things work out. The larger ballast box filled with Portland Cement should help with grapple/loader work. I want to run light footed for moving duties, taking advantage of the radials. If conditions warrant, I'll add rear weights (loader/grapple work), front weights (Bush Hog 3209 work), and as a last resort, liquid ballast (16-3 plow work?).
I'm excited!
