I agree with Redneck I/T, the backhoe is probably cheaper with initial purchase and the tractor will be set up for it by the dealer. I am amazed at how often I use the b/h - I really didn't think that would be the case, I figured the loader was the one that would be used most. I thought about the rent a b/h when I needed one option but my impatient side doesn't like to wait until the rental place opens up and I always need it when you can't rent one anyway. At $125 per day to rent it doesn't take long to pay for the b/h. Another plus is that I have about 800 pounds on the rear wheels for traction (my tractor is a T273 - a b/h for the 433 would likely weigh more).
Besides your already made list, another handy add-on is a 2" receiver that attaches to the bucket (and removes easily) for moving my trailers around along with some other duties it has been 'adapted' for. My last suggestion - if you don't have a welder get one.
Have fun and good luck.

Go to Bailey international website and get your own diverter valve , you can buy hoses and fitting locally or online. I set up a third function up on my T503 for less than 250 bucks, it works like a dream. Purchased a new 72" grapple on Ebay, (the grapple will handle more than the tractor can) which works awesome $1250 free shipping. Also built a tree/post puller that uses the 3rd function., now I never have to get out of the cab to move things or pull out and stack trees, LOL
