LA-703-A and other removable loaders with BobTach

[CheckerBill]

My neighbor has a nice brandy new Kabota L4400 Tractor with the LA 703 A loader with the BobTach plate. Being the nice guy that he is he let me borrow it during the last big snow storm. I must say "One Fantastic Tractor"! My question is when[year] did Kabota start putting this[easily]removable type loader on there tractors? and when were you able to have the BobTach option?? Not being able to afford a nice brandy new one I'd like to buy a used one in this size and HP range.
Thanx in advance for any help.

No idea when they started........ but they've become extremely popular in the past five years or so. You don't need to base your purchase on the tractor already having one though....... because the universal skidsteer quick attach can be added to virtually any tractor. Glad I added one to mine....... its the handiest modification I've made to my tractor hands down. As you have realized, changing from bucket to forks (or what-have-you) takes seconds.
