Price to upgrade to la524 loader

[Gc30tb]

Anyone know the approximate cost to upgrade from a la524fl to a la524 fel? My new l3800 is set for delivery this upcoming Monday and paperwork shows the la524fl. My oversight for not considering this previously. Based on my reading this eve, I'd rather go with the 524 with quick coupler bucket as I see myself using a grappler or other different attachments in the future. I am going to inquire if it's possible to switch the loader out to the la524 and I'd like to know what to expect cost wise. Thank you.

Kubota's list is $43 less for the LA524. Then you need to add a bucket from $623. If you go with the FL (Full Loader kit) and ever plan to use a backhoe, you need subframe kit, which is extra, too.

BTW, the QA bucket is 66" wide and square backed, it looks like, not 60" like the pin-on style.
