I have a L3130DT with LA513 loader, Curtis soft side cab, 6' LuckNow 3PH snowblower, 5' Woods Brushbull, toothbar, 3PH log splitter, 1 rear remote hydraulic. I have a few questions. I'm trying to figure out what my options are. I now have 150 hrs on the tractor. Is there a way to mount a snowblower on the front without removing the bucket? It can sometimes be difficult having to turn around to run the snowblower. Also, ther rear window becomes covered with snow making it very difficult to see. I have seen snowblowers for quick attach skidloaders that run off the hydraulics. I do not have the quick attach bucket. Are remote hydraulics available on the Kubota? I also use a 7.5' plow on my pickup to clean off the blacktop (quicker than blower). Would I be able to replace this plow with one for my tractor? Or somehow mount this plow to my tractor?

Can I make these changes to my current tractor without breaking the bank, or should I look into another tractor?

I see that Kubota now offers a B series tractor with a cab. I wonder if this tractor will do everything I need it to? The other thought I had with a smaller tractor is that I might be able to replace my CubCadet GT2554 and mow with the Kubota. Again, cost may be the determining factor. Any thoughts?

You may want to look into adding a a Quick Attach bucket and blade to your loader. Here is the one I have for my B2910. ATI sells them that will allow you to use your original bucket. Using a front mount blower and bucket at the same time has been discussed here a TBN. Just not practical. But from what I have seen they can be changed from one to the other rather quickly. Complete loader is removed to install the front blower.
Here is a link my photo gallery on TBN and my blade. ClickHere

You've got a pretty nice setup there. I like the 3PH on the front. It would work great for me to get my inplements in and out of the shed. Anyone else have any ideas?
