I have a 2013 L3800 4x4 gear drive. Saw a trencher for sale for around 1K that claims to be a Kubota 5520A trencher. Is it too big for my tractor?
And I don't have any remote hydraulics on my tractor, probably need those to run the trencher to make it tilt (with the 3pt raising entire unit)?

Hate to buy it and then get it home to figure I can't use it, or find out that even with remotes and such maybe there isn't enough hydraulics to operate it anyway? I think it's PTO driven on the chain but the lifting part may need remotes.
I can't find any info on the net about the 5520A to see what tractor is recommended to run it. Any help would be appreciated!

AND--does L3800 Gear drive have the hydraulic umph to run a front bucket mounted skid steer quick attach post auger if I had the remote lines going up to the front?
if anyone has one of those units or a backhoe for back of L3800 I'll do partial trade with a 1952 farmall cub with TONS Of parts and attachments.
