Sweet looking tractor, I know you will love it. I went with the L4600 myself, but I wish I had at least looked a closer at the MX5100 before buying, maybe I would have made a different choice. My opinion is, pallet forks are a must have. Enjoy!
Craigslist for used implements, lots of Mowers and PHD's available and they all work just as good as new high priced ones.
I Bought 6' International mfg mower w/slip clutch $600,Cat SSQA pallet forks $400
traded a Ford 501 sickle mower for a 3 pt PHD sold the same guy a old international hay crimper for $300. So i came out ahead and got rid of equipment I was no longer using
I think only the Landpride brand implements qualify for 0% financing through Kubota - 'least that's my understanding. Does you dealer not sell LP implements? Thought all Kubota dealers did. Either way, congrat's on a beautiful tractor.
I will probably weld some hooks on to my bucket at some point. Looking at it, I don't think it needs reinforced much because the plate that holds the SSQA plate in place at the top of the bucket looks like a pretty solid brace for the bucket already.
