Loader for JD 730

Im looking for ideas and options for installing a usable loader on a JD 730 W/F. First off I know a hand clutch tractor isn't the most user friendly for loader applications but for the work I have it will work just fine. Ive looked at the 45w but was hoping for something a little more modern. I see in the tractor photos someone installed a 148 on their 730. Does anyone have pics of brackets for this loader or something similar? It will be used for loading and feeding round bales.
 
Have a pair of 48 loaders with universal mounts. One is on a 730 now, other is on a 630. Both are covered in snow now. $2K for choice. Will sell one or both.
 
My dad had a brand new 48 with the universal mounts on his wide front 720 years ago and liked it. I sold a nice quick attach Triggs loader off a 630 last fall for $1500. The 48 listed below is reasonably priced as the universal mounting ones are hard to find. Tom
 
I gotta pretty modern loader on my 50, I bought the tractor with the loader on it. Once you get used to operating a loader with a hand clutch it ain't so bad. I like it!

There is a Westendorf model that works on a two banger Deere but I don't recall the model number of the loader. I've run one mounted on a 630 and I was impressed. Hand clutch? I grew up on two bangers and had a Du-al loader on a 630 for 39 years so hand clutching a loader tractor seems natural to me and my opinion is a little slanted that way. The hand clutch is not that much of a handicap but you will be happier with the clutch if you keep the engine running slow. On a two banger you don't need to have the engine wrapped up to have good hydraulic pressure so that's another plus. Two bangers are designed to run slow and you need to get used to that low RPM torque.
 
Nice DuAll 250's & 300's like pictured above can be bought all the time for $3-500. TWO GRAND ?? For a loader ?! Where at ?
