some zilch,
A couple of thoughts for you. The machines you describe are older and don't typically have quick attach loaders, however there are retrofit kits you can get. As for capacity, most of the loader model numbers are the lift capacity in kilograms. There are 2.2 #/kg so you're looking for one with '650' in the model number at least, for example the 'LA650'.
In addition to what rbargeron said (which is great advice), you may want to consider the L35 which is a commercial duty machine that may appeal to you. It is about the smallest Kubota that meets your specs. Also, to decipher the advice he gave, there is a list of L-3 series model numbers on the Kubota.com website under 'Products' and then 'Prior Products'. This will help you see what models are in those series (two of them, one from the 1980's and one from the 1990's).
I hope this helps you understand what's out there. Good luck and have fun with your search!
