Implements:
200CX, 46 Backhoe, 62D OnRamp Deck w/Independent Lift Kit, 3-Bag Bagger, Ballast Box, 5-42lb Weights

Purchased From: Dealer

Strengths:
Dealer. Financing. Power. 4X4. Differential Lock. Extra hydraulic flow and cooler (over 2320). Independently, all attachments are extremely easy on and off and perform as expected. Loader and Backhoe work well together. Deck and Bagger work well together with 5 front weights. Loader works well with ballast box (no backhoe) when weighted appropriately.

Weaknesses:
Front tires (R4) rub backhoe brackets attached to loader bracket on hard turns. Rear tires had to be reversed to fit backhoe. When attaching backhoe with independent deck lift kit, there are lift kit brackets that need to be switched and some removed to allow for backhoe. Takes about an hour to remove deck lift brackets to allow backhoe to be attached. Once brackets are removed, backhoe attaches in minutes. I recommend considering other mower options if you plan to get the backhoe. Hood could use a lift assist, a little awkward when loader is attached. Should come standard with a toolbox and rear fender extenders.

Overall:
Along with the above implements, there were some mandatory items such as Power Beyond Kit for backhoe, Power Flow Kit for Bagger and Belt Cover Kit for Deck included in the above price. If not for the non-compatibility between backhoe and independent deck lift kit this is one awesome tractor and set-up. I would buy it again...without independent deck lift kit of course -
