    4520 with BB42

    I Know that a 4520 has the hp to work a Frontier BB42, but will it ultimately have enough traction to do justice? Will R4's do the job or are R1's more ideal for moving and tilling dirt.? I am considering the 84" high back model.

    Speakers/work lights

    Do the 4x20 tractors come pre wired for speakers and work lights even if you don't order the radio or lights. I'd prefer to choose my own speakers, receiver and lights to install myself rather than the generic factory offerings.

    Backhoe  485 Capability

    Would I be crazy to attempt to dig a basement for a 1400 sq foot house with a 485 mounted on a JD 4520? I like the idea of the backhoe more or less paying for itself and then having it for small trenching and digging projects in the future.

    Comparison  Turning radius: 3000 series vs. 4000 series

    Does anyone have the stats on turning radius for these two series? I am of the opinion that the clearance and additional ability of a 4000 series would far outweigh any shortcoming of the turning radius.

    5E Limited vs. 5M

    I am purchasing a tractor to perform all aspects of hay operation, to renovate hay land and also to run a Berry harvester. Is there any advantage to the M series over the Limited other than comfort and convenience? Will the M do the job better in any way or just more conveniently?

    Creeper

    How slow does the creeper option allow a 5E Limited or 5M to operate? I am looking for a tractor that will go as slow as a hydrostatic equipped model, but has enough size and power for a hay operation. The reason I need to go slow is to pull a berry harvester.
