First, 10 extra HP for $3000 isn't too bad. I have an MX 4700, and it's a GREAT tractor. That said, when driving on the road it'd be nice to have a little more giddyup. Also, I only have a 5' bush hog, but if I could afford an 8' I'd love to use one. There too, the HP would be nice.
About the options, it depends on your skills. Maybe LD1 can clue us in on whether his instructions would work on the new MXs. I followed his write up and added three remotes plus top and tilt cylinders for under $1k. I think the dealer wanted about a grand just for one remote. I was in the same boat about not needing them, but i really love my TNT setup, and wouldn't want to be without it. Plus, now if I find an implement that uses hydraulics, I'm all set.
I did a quick skim of LD1's instructions. Seems straight forward.
My decision point is that I'm wondering if I should keep my 72" Woods finishing mower and my 72" Land Pride blade. I say that because, I'd like to have a hydraulic blade to stay in the seat to change angle but I can add that later. I use the blade backwards to push snow out of the driveway.
So the only implements I would like to get in the near future would be something to remove snow and forks for the loader.
My dealer said the total tire width would be about 88". I don't see the benefit of spending money to go to an 84" mower. I'm usually mowing on a slope, so it might be better for me to have that 72" Woods back there. On my B3200, it can sometimes pull the back end down the hill slightly in rare situations.
I'm just trying to think of anything I should consider getting now (implements or tractor options), since I'm doing the 84 month financing. I don't believe the MX comes with the quick telescoping 3 point - that would be a nice feature.
Lastly - I have not looked at the M Series, just the MX (online only - dealer doesn't have one in stock). I just saw the loader stick on the MX on youtube and it looks like an after thought. But if my memory serves me correctly, going to an M is a large price jump for mostly creature comforts. Since I don't throw tons of hours on the machine, I'm okay with that.
I just want to make sure I don't get an MX and then go D'oh - should have got an XYZ....

Telescopic lift arms are optional on the MX4800 and standard on the others.
The loader valve doesn't feel like an add-on too me anyway. :2cents:
M series does not come with an HST. FYI.

Blade will be fine in the snow, but you really need more blade of you want to do any dirt work.
I question the 88".
I have r1's and set as wide as they will go is just a shade over 72".

I also questioned the 88" also. (but it turns out not by much)
Per the manual, with R4, the widest the rears will go is 61.2" CENTERLINE to CENTERLINE. I am not home to measure actual tire width but I think it is something closer to 24" than 18" when properly inflated.
So add that all up and the widest R4 tire/rim OUTSIDE to OUTSIDE track width on a new MX is probably something just under 7ft or 84".
