Hi All from Texas!
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Ready to buy, just trying to make the right decision in terms of model and tranny.
Looking at the 5530 and the 6530. Not sure if we should go shuttle/PST/HST. Interested in any comments on this front.
Duty Specs:
- Small Farm / Ranch (less than 200 acres - 50% is heavily timbered)
- shredding, will purchase the 10' pull shredder from mahindra (not 3pt)
- front end loader for earth, tree limbs and hay
- box blade for general road maintenance and erosion control
Questions for the team:
1. Too big? Too small?
2. Other models I should look at instead?
3. What type of rubber should I put on it? (ag tires?)
4. Is the grapple worth the money? We have a lot of dead-fall around after storms and what-not.
Thanks for everyone's thoughts.
