Finally did it, thanks for all the help.

I appreciate all of the advise from those who knowingly provided it and those who gave it to someone else in the past for my reading pleasure. I have been going around and around for a few days between the 3520 and 4120. The difference in upgraded machine and larger implements was about $4500. It was not the money, but I selected the 3520. The 4x20s are extremely maneuverable tractors, but the parking lot tests are not comparible to actual work in the woods. I think the smaller chasis will prove to my advantage. I just hope it can lift everything I throw at it! Anyway, now it's time to just sit and wait...well, do those other things I've been neglecting.

-3520 open station w/ 12/12 transmission, large R4s, 3rd SCV, mid PTO, block heater and rear lighting
-300cx loader with extra hydraulics for 3rd function with HD bucket, tooth bar and grapple
-448 hoe w/ 18" bucket
-665 tiller (Howard makes this I believe)
-72" rake
-72" snowplow for loader w/ power angle (I loved the Horst with the rocker shaft, but too much money)

This is going to be one long month!

You will love the tractor and snow plow.

Get the Imatch system - weight bucket and tiller and rake will be so much nicer with I match.

Congrats.

Thanks, I'm sure I will. If I don't get the imatch now I know I never will....the cost goes down better with the whole package! I did also get a 6" Salsco chipper, so I have quite a bill here. Down the road I'll need a brush mower and PHD, and I have until next spring to sort out my finish mower dillema.
