Thanks, I'll look up how to check and set pressure. I bought it with new fluids and have done nothing but run it.

The t5 does have a higher lift capacity by about 400 lbs iirc, but I agree, the Terramite isn't nearly as versatile.
Honestly if I were to replace my tractor it would be with a B26, used of course, couldn't swing a new one.
An idea of prices for my area, there's a 900+hr clean one with hyd thumb and thr bh qa bucket for 25k, similar without the thumb and bh bucket qa seem to go for about 20-24k.
I really want that one with the thumb.......

It should be simple to add a hydraulic thumb to a B26 since the brackets are already there. All you need is money for the thumb, cylinder, hoses and valves.

3000 PSI won't hurt a thing on a TLB. One thing I don't like about the B26, & the Kubota TLB's in general is tiny front tires. Better if front end had more flotation.

I have an acre and I have a BX25D. Sometimes I think a little bigger would be good but it's usually just because I want things done quicker and the extra capacity of a larger machine would do the job quicker. I wouldn't downsize what you have as the only benifit is a few extra 
in your pocket and you said you don't need the cash at the moment.
Looking at the photos inside your shed there ia way too much space so you need to fill that with all sorts of other stuff that you may (or may not) really need

Well......
Unless your muscles and joints are getting both younger and stronger I wouldn't risk having a new barn without having a mechanical hired hand to pick up and place things. All us old guys know how hard it is to find a new back.
Yep, taking a chance on remorse is always a risky bet. And it doesn't get any easier. I'm thinking that you need more info. Frankly, I'd go the other direction and see how adding a hydraulic thumb changes the perspective.
As for tying up money, a low hour b26 seems as good a conservative financial backstop as you are likely to find.
best,
