16X16 power shuttle trans
16.9 gpm Hyd pump
16.9x28 R1 rears with fluid

I'd also opt for the supersteer option, and I'd personally go for R4 tires. The cab is nice, too. Then, of course you'll need a box blade and backhoe...

The R-4's are nice if all you do is loader work on hard ground. Get into some slop and they are useless.

The only thing that comes to mind is that you might want a block heater and a canopy.

Good selection. I think I purchased the larger tire option - and they are radial, which I like (vs the bias ply). I did have them filled as well. Also, the block heater is a worthwhile investment in cold areas.

I like having the quick attach bucket...and I belive I have the 32LC Loader, which is working well.

Good luck.

Good choices...nearly the same as my TN65. I have the 32 LA loader which used the two remotes in the back. I had to have a 3rd remote so I could use my haybine, round-baler, disk, etc.

R-1's are certainly better than the R-4's if you're doing farming and such. 4WD is a must, especially if you're on a hill or doing plowing.

Good luck.

You may also want to upgrade your fixed link ends to the flexible link ends on your 3PH, and like someone else said a canopy -

I just installed the steel FOPS canopy on my TN75, due to work in the woods. Hopefully I will never get to test it. It was not cheap either -

You may also want to negotiate before purchase: your first service, delivery charges, and any pick up/delivery charges you may incur if you need warranty work. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

And don't forget the free hats!

Hopefully your wait will be short /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
