I an a new owner with not much knowledge. Is kubota my only option for a FEL for my 1860? Not that there is a problem I just want to explore all possible options prior to purchase. Looks like about $2200.00 to add this option.
Thanks

There are others who build loaders for them. Most every line has them at this time.

I do recommend the manufacturer of the tractor if at all possible for loaders.
Things I've seen,

After-market loaders with higher lift capacities then the front end will hold!
Great way to break stuff! Like the tractor!
Loaders sticking way out front of the tractor taking more leverage to hold the rear down as well as adding more load on the front end and tires.

Trying to fit as many tractors as possible with one frame and kit, Slottted holes for mounts!!!!!

Just what we all need, something else to have to watch everyday and maintain trying to keep it tight to the tractor!

Control valves that don't blend in with the tractor but look like apendages added on.

I bought a koyker for a 20hp tractor about 2 years ago. It cost ~2,000 delivered, not installed.

$2200 for a Kubota brand sounds like a great price.
