I bought my 18 5075E, 12x12, MFWD, convertible brand new for $36,200, but it's no longer 2018, and prices have gone up, but I think now is not a bad time to buy in this economy.
It's a good machine with some good weight for a tractor in its class, but yeah the 520M is a lot of loader for this tractor. Not only is it beefy, and rated to lift a lot, but sticks out farther in front of the tractor than most its competitors. That's good for lifting high, but it does place a lot of weight farther out in front of the tractor, and it makes maneuvering something you need to pay attention to. On the plus side a 3 cylinder, 5E with its short 80" wheelbase is like a freaking go cart tractor with the loader removed which is easy to do. Its a very nimble machine without the loader, but with the loader hanging out as far as it does it can be cumbersome in tight areas, but you learn to manage it. I take mine in the woods all the time.
