I own a pyrotechnics company doing indoor and outdoor displays. Our stuff is 1.3g explosives per classification. After dealing with hazmat federal DOT audits and roadside inspections for the last 25 years I don't take any chances when I'm hauling in commerce, even if it's just a tractor or CTL.

Do you already have a mower for it? Are you going to use it for mowing down trees? Those are some of my favorite YouTube videos to watch!!
Any particular reason(s) you didnt get the DL550 instead? Last year when we were shopping Case had some really good reasons to buy from them.
Price, weight over 18,000 lbs, and just didnt see myself using the dozer function enough. Plus I think this one at the weight it is could probably use some more hp working steep slopes. My 450 will probably be faster in that scenario just due to hp/weight ratio. I did use the machine this morning to re-grade part of a road at my shop that was washed out. This thing can push. Never broke traction and piled dirt up and over the bucket with ease. This bucked heaped holds 1.5 yards so if you were doing a lot of gradings/site prep I could see the benefits of the 550.
Yes. 84" CID Xtreme. 3 blade with mulching teeth. It's rated for up to 7" although I usually stick to about 5". Anything bigger and I usually just drop, pile, and burn. Good stuff goes to the firewood pile. I wanted to try it out this morning but found case has changed the high flow couplings on this unit so now new ones for the mower are needed. A drum mulcher would be nice but can't justify the cost unless I started doing a lot of for hire jobs.
Another nice feature this has is adjustable hydro flow. You can derate your flow to match implements if needed.
Played around for a few more minutes today getting a feel for what this machine is capable of. The lift and bucket tilt specs state 12,907 lbs bucket tilt and 12,084 lift cylinders. The weight of this machine makes good use of those numbers. Only had the regular bucket on hand, not my stump bucket but took down a few trees and I am super impressed. Here's video tackling a 10" tree. My TV450 would have ran out of power or traction when the ground started to heave and I couldn't have lifted it without cutting roots first with the stump bucket.
I was finally was able to put the 620 to work today. All of the dirt from the new building we built last year was piled behind the building when doing the pad construction. Went out the morning and used the 620 to get all of that dirt moved and grade smoothed out a bit. It took me a total of just over 20 minutes. The amount of dirt this thing can push is pretty impressive. All of that weight allows every bit of power to be put to ground.
Also here's a pic next to my 1 ton Ram dually to get an idea of size of this machine.
