I was in the same boat, can't find anything for my QL1650 400 miles around my neck of the wood. Frustration was a small word, I was really piss....Searching for the "illusive" 190-364-100 45" snow blower help me evaluate my needs. I was ready to purchase a Cub cadet GTX1054 for my summer task but I end up winning a 2010 Kubota T1880 in a closed auction with the same HG730 tranny, the 1650 can take care of the winter task with a blade or a home made front loader! (If I found a blade or got enough spare time to build a FL)
The new 2000 series can do both task with pricy attachments but in the end you wish you have invest that money in a used SCUT instead, so the decision is yours. For me it's clear, I keep the Kubota for the mowing job, restore my 1650 and hunt implements, if nothing show I build a FL or just sell it to purchase a used SCUT for my winter task.
