Rear Remotes

[Baby Grand]

Interested in getting a top & tilt outfit for our L3240, but I want to install 3 remotes, first.
Went looking on some Kubota dealer parts pages and can't find anything listed.
I'm looking for the following P/Ns:
L8305 Base Kit
L8303 1st Valve
L8306 2nd pos stacking
L8303 2nd Valve
L8307 3rd pos stacking
L8303 3rd Valve
Are these the right numbers - am I missing a prefix or something?
Any advice on how to find this stuff?
Float or non-float?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

If Kubota is similar to other tractor manufacturers you can get attachments such as rear remotes cheaper through complete(whole) goods dept than parts dept. For your application one st of controls with float would be enough but float wouldn't be required on all three sets.

Here are the part numbers and price I paid for my 2 valves. Neither are detant, both center closed, non-float. Philip.

Thanks, Philip - that's good information.

Tx Jim - thanks for the Wholegoods idea.
I nosed around some and it looks like there are new P/Ns (and prices).

So how do you place an order through Whole Goods vs parts?

See the salesman at the dealership to order thru Whole Goods.Pricy proposition but well well worth it.Good Luck!

Get 2 of them with the float function, you won't be sorry.

I also think you should check through about getting it whole goods. It even comes with instructions. You should get 2 with float.

 

[azbinder]

Yes, they are wholegoods items that must be ordered through the dealer sales department. The kits do come with very good installiation instructions. I have personally installed a number of these and it is a lot easier if you pull both the right rear tire and fender. It will take a couple of hours, but a very neat setup when done.

BG, if you do order the the remotes please post the part numbers and the retail price if you don't mind. I've never had a need for rear remotes but still think about getting a set.

 

[Baby Grand]

Okay - I'll call the dealership and get a quote for a three valve setup with 2 floaters. What I really want is to be able to run the rear blade with TNT and a blade rotating mechanism that I plan to knock together. But I'm sure that just having them available will open up some other possibilities. I'll post a full report - thanks for all the advice!
