You might consider getting a blade for your loader to plow snow if you have snow in winter where you live. I have one for my 4320 and it works great.demodawg said:
I also got the R4 tires and haven't regretted it one bit. You'll love the 4320.

Get the thrid selective control valve (SCV). If you decide to add top n tilt or want to add lines for a grapple or 4 in 1 bucket you'll be glad to have the scv already installed. I'd also add the hd bucket to the list.

What kind of tires are you getting?
Do you plan on adding top n tilt?

You absolutely need a 3rd valve.
I've had my 4120 for over a year now and am immensely pleased. I do a lot of 'real' farming wtih my CUT. The issues I've had:
1) I've bent the sway link stabilizers at least twice on both sides and at $60 each to replace it's no small thing.
2) I have one front tire which has gone flat, come off the bead or been puncture probably 10 times now. If you can get larger tires on the front end, do it. I'm so sick of changing the tire and it only does this when I'm in a super big hurry.
I got to drive a 5325 with a cab awhile back. In a few years I'll probably go that route... but I will really miss the HST.

Hopefully HST will move up in the product line.

I'd have to 2nd a number of the previous recommendations. Definitely HST. The transmission makes "microsurgery" with your tractor a real possibility!
Optional ligtht package -- both front and back. If you do any work in the winter or late fall; you'll sing the praises of those lights!
Optional SCV's. The added uses for the extra hydraulics will definitely pay dividends in the future. You won't regret having the additional hydraulic capabilities for your tractor and they will be a major plus should you decide to sell the tractor in the future - IMO. You might also consider the hardware for the 3rd function on your 400cx FEL. It's not a large expense and will enhance your future options for whatever chores you might have using your loader later on.
Tool box and cruise control. Less than a hundred bucks apiece and they'll make your "tractor life" much, much better!
I've got top n tilt on my latest tractor and I think that the extended draft links would even make the chore of hooking and unhooking implements with the added hydraulic extension a quicker and easier exercise.
Best of luck with your new tractor.

Should I get the 4 in 1 instead of the 400cx or in addition too?

The 4 in 1 is the bucket the 400cx is the loader itself. Did you mean get the 4 in 1 instead of the hd bucket? If so I really can't give you a good answer unless you tell us what you'll be using the tractor for. I didn't get the 4 in 1 because I needed a grapple with open bottom for what I was doing most. The 4 in 1 would be a good choice if you only needed a grapple type function once and and a while. I don't have a 4 in 1 but they look pretty handy. Either way the third scv will be a must have. I'd also go with the r4's as others have said. I might also suggest the brush guard for the front end. It's cheap insurance for your grill and radiator.

Well, I gotta say thank you to all of you, I got everything mentioned by you guys except the 4 in 1. It arrived today and was put to work about 5 minutes after it was delivered. The hardest part of the day was when my wife said i had to stop playing on it and take her out to eat. I can't wait to play tomorrow, but again thanks for all ya'lls inputs, I appreciate it.

Cool deal - where are the pics?

Greyfields, why buy new stabilizer links when you bend one? Do you own a big hammer and/or a torch and a small hammer? I just give mine a good wack with a sledge when they bend and they are as good as new afterwords. In my three years of owning a 4120 I have only been back to the dealer (3) times to pick up oil filters for the 100 hr services. This has been the cheapest tractor to provide parts support of any that I have owned (around 20 total of various makes).
