Thanks to all for the posting, I think I will just make do with the lil 40's capabilities as is. It is a great tractor except it can't lift as much as I want/need. It does do everything else just perfect. I have such a collection of implements sized for it that it wouldn't make much sense to trade it in. I used to have a tracked endloader AC HD6G which would lift 5500#'s like it was an envelope, now I am in withdrawal after selling it.
Think in a year when the TC is paid off, I will look at a TN with FEL or perhaps find a skid steer or another crawler to play with. I have 5 acres of home property but will be maintaning about 70 acres of trails/hunting area, brushhogging and some maintaining of trails/senderos will be the major work. The tc40 is my do all snowmachine and for now does a great job, but when the property gets more developed (1-2 years) I believe I will outgrow it quickly, just trying to think ahead.
