Check with MtnViewRanch http://fitritehydraulics.com/ or Kens Bolt on and I think Everything Attachments sells them also. I paid $1100 for my Kubota OEM.
As for attachments, we have found the following invaluable, grapple, heavy duty box scraper and good medium duty (3" cutting capacity) rotary cutter. Others are nice to have but we could live without: tree puller, grader blade, drag scraper, plow, disk, and rear finish mower.
Enjoy your new machine and post some pictures.

Def want a grappel I have a brush hog York rack grader blade and pallet forks deft intreasted in a box scrapper too and a good set of ice chains if I can't get the old ones to work
Just keep in mind that you have moved up to a tractor that really should have heavy duty implements behind it. And when I say heavy, I mean heavy, not just heavy in the name by the manufacturer.
I sort of doubt that your current combo rake-rear blade will hold up very long if you use it for anything other than just light maintenance. A good box blade for you is going to weigh in at no less than 1000lbs.
As far as grapples, months of reading if you want to see all points of view on what works best for what. Just remember that everything is a compromise.
Good luck.
I know for a fact my back blade will be strong enough since it came from my uncles dairy farm with tractors around the size of this one it makes the front end of the 4240 light even with the loader on I bet it's 800-1000 poundsJust keep in mind that you have moved up to a tractor that really should have heavy duty implements behind it.

Been looking at the grappels deft a lot of options to look at will have plenty of time since I'm working on building my house this coming summer
Well that's good.
I have never seen a combo blade-rake as you described that was very strong compared to just a good rear blade.Hope that everything works out well for you.
My bad it's not a combo two seperate pieces !Well that's good.
Hope that everything works out well for you.
