Info on a Workmaster 70

[JHurt]

I am looking to upgrade to something a little larger than the 4300 I've had for the past decade. It's been a great tractor, that I have absolutely abused since I bought it. Always used it like a much larger tractor, and it's treated me good! I have recently moved to a 20 acre spread that is in dire need of some upkeep. Fences need torn out, trees need removed, as well as, a couple of old barns torn down, mowing and brushcutting as well. I've been shopping for a tractor for several months now (and it about to wear me thin) with the help of ovrszed here on this site. My criteria have been basically 50 plus horse, with FEL, and the more hydraulics the better. I have stumbled upon a 2015 Workmaster 70 that fits most of the criteria except the hydraulics. I've sent a couple of emails to different dealerships asking about adding more to the tractor, without eny response so far. So I'm reaching out to the experts here to answer a few questions. This tractor has one set of hydraulics on the rear. Does anyone know if a factory kit is available to add one, or more to the tractor? Two more would be awesome. Also, the tractor has a 261TL loader on it. Does anyone know if New Holland offers some sort of kit to add a third function to the loader, so that I can add a grapple to it? I would prefer to use factory stuff if possible. My personal preference, as I think it installs better, and fits better. Thanks in advance!

I have a WM 50. Purchased new in May of 2016. It is a good tractor. 75 trouble free hours. To answer some of your questions.
1. A factory kit is available but it will run you north of 1K. They have to change out the hydraulic block on the tractor.
2. Third function is available. I just had one installed on my 621 TL. Electric over hydraulic. Works great. They used WR Long as the supplier. Whole goods department. The unit will be around $850 or so. The install will be around $1100 at the dealership.
