Be interesting to see how a Ark is going to fit on there. Now you got a 520 to find room for also.

Duke, they say the Xi's are the way to go, but I'm still partial to my Onan powered 520s as I have a 520xi also, and my new SCUT isn't much bigger, good luck on your project, I bet those rear Kenda's are 10.5" wide, and lots of guys have went with the Kenda or Carlisle all trail treads for the Xi's, John @shallowwatersailor would be our resident xi "guru", Jeff.

Power steering is the berries!

You wont be disappointed. I just transplanted a 25HP efi Kohler into my 522xi and it its just a sweet tractor. VERY heavy duty and reliable. 

 

There is i believe two threads on here for people adapting or building their own loader for the XI series, so have a gander at those (i will try to find them in a minute) and you should be all set as long as it is wide enough to fit over the cowlings and foot rests.

A great choice Duke, they are sweet, you will luv it. A good work horse it is, heavy duty and built for the task at hand. Best of luck.

The power steering definitely makes the loader easy to steer. 


That is a nice looking machine, too
