That should be a fine tractor but my first recommendation would be to sell it and purchase a tractor with a loader. The second recommendation would be to try to find a similar parts tractor that still has a loader. The proper loader model for that tractor is the LA524. For an after market loader I'm fond of the Koykers. They're made in South Dakota and have various sizes depending on the tractor size. Their 120 is probably equivalent to the original Kubota loader but you won't like the prices.

you are right, I really don't like the prices, I see some take off loaders and used loaders but don't know what will fit, I got the tractor at a good deal, had to rebuild the engine but it runs like a top now, so I will be spending more on loader than I have in tractor

Any loader off a L2800,3400,3700su which will be the LA463. Newer models LA524 which was on the L3200,3800. Next LA525 was on L3301,L3901. Today LA526 is current all these will fit on any of the basic L series. Meaning not a grand L. Hope this makes sense.
