Kubota push in front grader, not snow blade. Saw it in Thailand. Can't get info on it

I was in Thailand two years ago and saw a Kubato B3030 with a heavy duty "push in front grader". I am not able to find anything on it. Can anyone help. Snow blade will be to light for what I need to do.

Is this something that'll hang off of an attached FEL, as opposed to a purpose built Front End Loader type tractor? I ask this as your standard 'attached' FEL isn't designed to do that... it's hydraulics are basically a pick up/put down design.

Yes, we usually abuse the he77 out of them, but still...

No, it would have been made by Kubota and is attached to the B3030 like a front end loader is. It's a real solid push in front grader like the solid front end loader. It is hydraulic. Nothing like the snow blade which in my opinion is flimsy.

It is definitely a purpose built grader. Solid as.

Unfortunately they make/supply different implements to different markets, and the ones you want aren't available where you are, just like cars and everything else. In the scheme of things, I think loader arms and QA would be more useful overall

The one-piece blade provides strength and durability, making it more resistant to breakage. The design allows for ample clearance, enhancing operation efficiency and maneuverability. The implement is easily operated by a lever which is located within the operator’s reach.

The B3030 was replaced by the B3350 in the US market. Don't know which models are offered in NZ. Here in the US, Kubota offers several front mount attachments for the B3350, including a rotary sweeper, snowblower and front blade, all mounted to the front chassis, and, if powered, running from the mid-pto. Note the term "front blade", with no additional explanation. Kubota does show photos of such a blade in use for light grading, but I don't think it is intended for severe duty.

From the USA website -Front Mounted Blade
60" and 72" front blade.
Front implement system which utilizes a single quick hitch and subframe.
Front Blade is a heavy duty blade designed for commercial use.
Hydraulic power angle is standard on both blades.
HD double bevel cutting edge.
Replaceable skid shoes.
Trip spring lockout design.
Optional rubber cutting edge.
And as one can see, totally different design than the Thailand offering
