Looking at a b9200, front loader. Looks like its in good shape. My biggest concern is adding a backhoe, what models fit it and what could i expect to pay if i found one? Any thing specific to look at on these tractors? Thank you.

Very unlikely to find an OEM backhoe for a machine that old, they're very rare and very desirable. It's also typically hard to get one that comes with all the brackets and fittings needed to attach it - where they do exist people usually have managed to sell them without the subframe.
You can add a 3ph after market backhoe. They aren't as good, and can be pretty hard on the 3pt hitch hardware - a backhoe puts a lot of weight and pressure on a 3ph. If you need one you can do it, but the general advice is that if you're buying an older machine, buy it with the loader and backhoe on it, it's way way cheaper than buying a machine and trying to add a loader or backhoe. At that age I would have thought you'd look at a dedicated TLB, and maybe not a Kubota.

Buy a late model with BH it will be cheaper than trying to add one later

Is this your first tractor? I would see how much blowby when you run it. I just looked on Facebook marketplace for the whole US....no one has a backhoe for it. Funny thing is aftermarket BH ones ran as much as buying a case 580e.
Love the looks of that series tractor.
