Thanks for the suggestions. I like the 16x16 power reverser transmission and definitely love the 540E pto. I want some wide radial tires, something similar to the ones I see on some of the European models (5100R series).

Get the radials. When I bought my 5520, I traded off the bias ply tires with a tire shop and put Firestone radials all around. 18.4-34 rear and 12.4-24 front. I got a good trade-in value on the originals since they were new and the radials makes a profound difference in flotation and traction. I have 2 rear weights on each side and if I add some front end weights, can pull an 8 shank heavy Deere chisel plow fairly easily. Similar tractors without the tires don't have a chance.
By the way, you can use the earier Deere suitcase weights--they fit fine.
