As of yet, no.

John Deere changed the frame design on purpose, and one of the reasons for it was to eliminate the option of a loader for the X700 series. From a business perspective, the X700 series with a loader is almost identical to the 1 Series machine. That leaves John Deere with two machines that are way too close together in features, specs, and pricing. It's bad business. Heck, the 1 series can be had with a loader and 3PT, cheaper, then an X700 with those items added. I haven't actually measured one myself, but apparently the new machines have a thinner frame. Personally, I don't believe the frame is thinner, just a different design.

My advice is, if you want a loader, buy a 1 series, or buy another machine down the road.

I really must stress to you one point. Remember this is a garden tractor, it isn't designed to be used with a front end loader. It isn't a sub compact.

I think using a loader on an X700 series is a bit too much stress on the machine, it's just not built for that.

The x700 series was tough before the added frame enhancements in design of the ultimate X700 series, so to offer a loader before and not no its plain dumb and mostly a ruse to get is the consumer to buy more equipment. I had a 1023e which I got rid of because it was too big for what I needed it for. If I was doing serious loader or backhoe work, I would of kept it. But for the ocasional light loader work, it doesn't get any better than to unhook the loader and immediately go out and cut grass without having to tear up my yard from a sub. These machines are massively overbuilt and are perfect for light occasional loader work. If they weren't designed to handle it, then the loader wouldn't of been an option from in the first place and I've already placed an order for one.
