    M4 vs M5 alternator

    If you need 130 amps of light ........ you could light up a football stadium. 80 amps will provide PLENTY of light - assuming you are not using halogens! ;) Set up as many lights as you think you need via LED's and you will be fine! Fuse them all in a separate box too.

    Auxillary hydraulics

    Your M6950DT is a something like this one? Can you upload a picture of these knobs near the seat? One is lowering speed of three point, the other may be draft control. You should have a rear control valve that allows flow to those rear remotes. Picture help tremendously
