TX, thanks for sharing the information about the TnT set up on your L5030. The dealer has mentioned that he has installed both the Kubota and the aftermarket (Gearmore, I believe) SCV and remotes recently, so I have asked him to notify me next time he installs either version in a customer's machine so I can run down and take a look. He personally believes that the aftermarket control is more "naturally" placed for box scraper use, but the Kubota arrangement (i.e., under the seat) may be more to my liking. I will be able to make a decision once I see them (and, perhaps, test them out).
As you mention, the hoses and cylinders that the dealer typically installs are the Gearmore ones. If it looks like he will give me some discount off Gearmore's list if I get the hoses and cylinders when I purchase everything else, then I think I will do it. On the other hand, I can live without a functional TNT for a little bit, leaving me some time to shop around for some better or less expensive hoses and cylinders.
