Will a B20 loader fit on a B8200?

[tkaway1]

I just puchased a B8200 HST 4WD with a grator blade but I want to get a loader for this machine. I've priced new ones and found they are big bucks. I have located a used loader off a B20. I understand that these tractors are very simular. Would any know if the B20's loder woulfd fit on my B8200 without major alterations ?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. My guess is you are out of luck on this one unless you have the ability to do major modifications. The B20 was part of Kubota’s commercial loader backhoe tractors until 1996 when it was replaced by the B21. The loaders were not removable on these tractors by design. They attached to a sub frame that supported the loader and backhoe. Another problem could be the hydraulic capabilities of the B8200. The commercial tractors ran larger hydraulic pumps for loader backhoe work than the other tractors of similar horsepower.

I would look very closely before putting down my money on this one.

Thanks for your reply. It was worth a shot. This forum is great. I belong to a Harley forum but I find the Kubota owners are really ino their machines.
