I am looking at the 54" manual Kubota front blade (TG2754). Does anyone know what this setup would cost? I only have the 60mmm and grass catcher at this time. I want to add a FEL but the funds won't allow it now. I was reading on a BB that the TG2754 was $350. Is that all I need to spend or is there more parts the Kubota site does not tell me about?

That would be the blade alone as you still have the blade frame and valve to operate the up and down. The BX's handle the 60" just fine and you are half way to the loader by the time you buy the blade. ....

The front blade for my BX was $1100, 3 years ago.
In would agree with Art. Between the two, the FEL is a better investment and infinitely more usable.

I have both a front blade and a FEL for my machine. I would agree that the FEL is much more usefull and verstile, but both implements have different uses. One really doesn't do a good job at replacing the other. For grading work and snow plowing, it's hard to beat the front blade. For loading, moving, and general purpose work, the FEL is a must. You need to decide what you need, and get the right implement for the job, or you will end up dissapointed.
I built my own subframe to save $'s on the front blade. If you have the interest in light fabrication, might be somnething to think about.
Spend the money to get the right implement for what you need to do. Trying to substitute one for the other will end up being more expensive in the long run. ....

I do not move snow so my info is about dirt. I have a BX2200 with fel, well I've traded it for a B7800 but anyway I've spent a year with the fel. It does pick up and move and spread dirt plus other things. I then back drag the dirt with the fel bucket. I did not used the rear blade I bought, actually traded it back to dealer for a box blade since back dragging the front bucket does such a great job leveling/spreading/filling. Just my experience. I actually spent a lot of hours trying to justify fel cost but it has been the best part of my purchase due to moving dirt,etc.
I've also bought 3 new tractors (BX2200, BX1500 & B7800) in a little over a year. ....
