Kubota BX1800- aftermarket loader?

[jbos333]

Hi, I'm posting this for a friend of mine......he has a BX1800 and is looking for a loader. He has priced a Kubota loader at the dealer, says its out of his price range (I think he said $3000 +) Does anyone know of a good aftermarket unit that might be a little more affordable?

Actually, with careful shopping, and IF he already has the loader valve, the price of a Kubota is closer to $2100. He should shop an LA203 not just an LA241. There isn't enough difference to worry about on a retro-fit. I bought an LA203 in a crate for $2100.

Doubtful a no name could save him much money, imo. A used Kubota, is like a needle in a haystack and would be $1600 for a beat up one. I know.
