Amen!

Also, if you can get a loader with quick-tach, I think it's worth the nominal upcharge. Go ahead and get hydraulic remotes if the tractor isn't already equipped. There are loads of cool hydraulic implements out there, from 3-point wood spitters to loader mounted augers. All depends on how you foresee using the tractor. I've wondered how I ever survived so long without owning one. Five years and 1100 hours on the L2800 and the only regret is not getting one in the 40 hp range.
