That's not a 531, it doesn't have inboard wet disc brakes, it may be a 530A which has the same drum brakes as the 2110/4110.

Not sure what part of Eastern Ky your in but you do have some steep hills "mountains" in that area, I used to deliver to coal mines and petroleum companies back in the 90's.

I understand why you want a LCG tractor but they have a lot of draw backs, they set so low to the ground they will easily get stuck, the wide tires will spin or slid on wet grass more than the narrower ag tires, I've seen a number of oil pans crushed on those tractors from hitting stumps or large rocks, crushing the left side of the oil pans sump will break the oil pump off.

I'd look for something like a 4000SU, 4600SU or even newer, their 28" tires keep them at the same height as your 2000. Then spread out the wheels and front axle as wide as you can get them, that will make it as stable as a LCG model or more.

I can't say enough about how much better the wet disc brakes are over the drum brakes you presently have, and on those hills brakes are really important.

If you wanted to step up to something like a low profile 4630 4x4 you could easily handle one of the lighter weight 12 foot batwing mowers, on a 2 wd tractor it would push you over a hill pretty bad, not a good thing.

ROPS can be added to about any tractor.
