I recently bought a used MX5100F tractor and now I'm looking to get a front end loader installed. I've researched a lot online and found the LA854 seems to have what I want: self-leveling option and 2-stage "fast dump" (regeneration circuit). I know I can get an LA844 but it has neither the self-leveling option nor the 2-stage dump. I also found the Bush Hog Quicke 180C and it has those features, but if I can get a Kubota loader with those features I want to do that.
I've talked to a couple dealers and they say the LA844 is the only loader that will fit my tractor and that, therefore, the LA854 will not. However, I have seen the MX5100 paired with the LA854, including in the following Kubota brochure. (There it's apparently an LA854AU-B so maybe it's somehow different than in the U.S.?)

So will the LA854 work with my tractor or not? If not, why not?
What do you think about getting a Quicke loader? Anybody here have one? Anything else I should consider?
Thanks for any help!
