FEL for Kubota L245dt

[kentchris]

I purchased my next door neighbors L245dt about 2 years ago. He had garaged it for the 25 plus years he owned it and it only had 600 hrs on it. So it is in like new condition. The only thing I don't like about it is that it came with a dozer blade on it. I would like to put a FEL on it. Does this seem like a reasonable idea or is the expense of a FEL not justified on a tractor this old reguardles of its condition? What after market brands of FELs should I be looking at? And can I mount this myself or will I need to have the local tractor dealer do it? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

To buy a new one might cost as to much in realationship to the tractor and as always with older tractors they just don't have the same hydraulics as the newer tractors do to utilize the loader.
