Thanks a lot guys. Yea, it's a beast and has rolled over/through everything I've sent it through so far. I've had some time now to play with the loader and it is awesome, I'm glad I went for it off the bat. I'm not sure about the grill guard, I was under the impression it was an option. I've seen them on Ebay and other places used for pretty cheap, figured I'd snatch one up one day. I've got the tiller so far for my rear ballast, as well as loaded tires. I'll be sure to double check all the fluid levels here soon. I plan to get a 3 point blade, that'll be my primary snow moving device. I've also been eyeing up getting the middlebuster/subsoiler from Tractor supply to use to rip the ground before tilling to uncover big rocks. The implement wish list is growing, I just need to find more money!
