I just came home from the dealer after making a purchase on the John Deere 5085 w/ FEL and a third function added for the Grapple. I had them include a MX8 pull behind rather than the 3pt (I was told this would give me a better cut than a 10ft pull behind) and would be much easier to hook up? I was told from an individual that you could replace the bush hog blades to a finish mower blades to give a more plush cut and change back if need be. Not certain if this is true or not?
I also had them include a CD AM/FM Blue Tooth Radio, Air Ride (seating), Buddy Seat for our first newborn and my wife. I also purchased a spreader too. It has all the bells and whistles that I'll need.
One problem is that it will take about 2-3 weeks from Georgia to get it here due to the third function being installed for the grapple. I will post pictures once it arrives. Our sales guy has been great and just an all around nice fellow. He sold me our 997 two years ago and never had a problem with it! Now I'm nervous waiting on the arrival. I went with the after market grapple made from Frontier aka John Deere?
Is there anything I should have purchased that I didn't or any advice would be much appreciated. Nonetheless, I am excited!!!
