Hey Mike,
I have a MF GC2410 like this one:
You didnt mention a backhoe in your must haves, but I couldnt live without it.
The front loader cant really dig, its more of a scooper and transporter.
The backhoe makes pretty quick work of digging up trees, planting trees, digging trenches, etc...
I also have no desire to use a belly mower on this beast. They are pretty expensive and I would rather have a cheap JD mower to just cut the grass.
