I previously owned a B6000. I dont know if yours is 4wd, but either way you will find that the cost of a loader (1500-2000) far outweighs the work that you can accomplish with such a small, light tractor. Homestead does make a loader that fits, and some have been pleased with the results. In terms of rear bucket scoops, I bought a 30" model for my B6000 and found that it barely fit and did not lift high enough to easily dump. However, a 24" would probably work very nicely. You still might have to modify the lift links to get it high enough to dump, but at least the width wont be a problem. You will definately need front weights of some kind, since the whole tractor weighs 800lbs and you can easily put 300lbs of dirt/scoop weight on the back....lots of wheelies in your future. ....

I found that trying to purchase 3point attachments for a b6000 was difficult at best and have resorted to building my own. For a back scoop (loader) I built one based on plans I purchased from www.cadplans.com. I had to modify the plans to allow for lift height and scaled down to a 24 inch bucket. It works fine, however, to do it over, I would have used lighter materials to reduce overall implement weight.
