The QA adaptor is connected to the loader and then you and connect any Universal QA implement. Not that you'll have enough hydraulic power to run everything, but you can attach any universal QA implement like a Skidsteer bucket, grapple, pallet forks or even a hydraulic post hole digger.

Your dealer isn't giving you the complete info on the QA adaptor, because you could say any loader was QA'able. It's a matter of finding a QA that will fit the loader.

If you go without the QA up front, you can still add it later. The catch then is that you will either need to add a QA plate to your existing bucket or replace you bucket. Me, I went upfront the QA route because I have a friend with a bunch of QA stuff for his skidsteer. Plus, I want Millonzi grapple. Freaken Islandtractor has me drooling for one.

The box blade will work, but it really depends on how much you're going to lift. If you're planning on doing a lot of loader work, make sure to get your rear tires filled. I haven't done it to mine yet, but it's because I've got the backhoe attached. When it comes off, the 1st thing I'm going to do is fill the rears. I'm planning on using a 4' BB or a tiller for ballast. Just remember it's going to depend on what you're lifting.

With the BB for ballast, you could also mount more weight to it. If you wanted to go cheap, you can also get a carry all from TSC for around $100, then add weight to it as needed. The nice thing about the carry all is that you can use it to carry stuff too.

Grill guard.. I've got one, but it was a Benjamin extra. I added it just before delivery. If it's not in your deal, get it because if you smash your headlights it'll cost you more then the guard.
