Further to my post about alternative mower decks, is it possible to fit a 3 point to the front end of the B4200?

yes
options
1) if it has SSQA loader, easy...off the shelf....

2) make your own, fun project.....
In assuming ssqa is expensive, I do fancy the idea of self build, I am capable of such things. I don't have a secondary hydraulic take off though so that's something I'd need advice on, ie where to tap into the original system. There I a tap under the front of the seat with a blanking plug, I assume there?

🤔 I've just had a look at the tractor, there's no way I could get a drive shaft from the mid pto to a front mower deck past the front axle 🤷‍♂️

You can, it has to be real low and attached in front of and behind the axle
There was a stock kit to run a snowblower off the front years ago.
As far as a front three point you would have to make it up as Kubota never had that option for these models.

What you really want is an F series Kubota.

Further to my search for an improvement to my rear grass cutter, I've been wondering about front pto kits and 3 point attachment. What are my options please?

I think the earlier responses answer your front 3pt/PTO question. If you want a front mower, a different tractor, as @North Idaho Wolfman suggested, is called for.

In an earlier post you mentioned a mid-mount mower as an option . I think this would be more practical if you're going to keep your existing tractor. There was a 44" mid-mount mower available, RC44-42, for the B4200. While the chance of finding one of these in serviceable condition is pretty slim, you might be able to adapt another model.
