    GC1720 price check

    I am looking to get a GC1720 TBL w/ 12" bucket. It has a 3-point hitch (in case it's optional). The dealer has it in stock and ready to go! He quoted me $17,735 as the price for either financed or cash. Is this a good price?

    Price Check  Max 25 TBL - price

    I'm considering the purchase of a Max 25 HST with the loader and backhoe. My question is what price should I expect for a package like this before I go talk with the dealer. My closest dealer is about 25 miles away so I'd like to be prepared before I pay them a visit.

    Other than the backhoe and subframe, what do I need to attach the backhoe? Do I need a single remote or dual remotes? Remote(s) or power beyond?
