If you are asking me, I would pass on the Bobcat blade & or rake. Just not HD enough for my liking.It's possible the literature is wrong/confusing on the remotes, but it says option for 4 rear hydraulic remotes. I asked the dealer for a quote for the extra 2 rear remotes and the sales rep said they are already included. I am sure he is confused and counting 4 ports for 2 remotes as 4 remotes.
Otherwise bobcat has a deal currently on 3 pt implements, buy 2 get $400 off. I am considering getting two but not sure if they are a good deal or if I should go with a different brand instead. Considering 7' angle blade, 7' Tine Rake, and an Auger (bit not included). All are about $850 each plus the $400 rebate, so really $650 each if I get two. Would you get any of these with the tractor or get other brands later?
Everything attachments would be my choice for manual adjustable units of the blade or rake. Any rake that EA builds is a good rake. I personally would go with a Land Pride RB3784 or RBT3584 series rear blade or equivalent. All the light duty stuff is just that, light duty. If you are going to only be doing light duty work, then about any of it will work fine. But as soon as you really put it to work, the quality really shows.
Good luck with your decisions.
