Ok so it's cheaper to run rear remotes than a third function? I'm looking at about 1000 bucks just for the kit I'm told

Wish I could help, but I bought my tractor with TnT and three rear remotes, C4Ranch put his own rear remotes on, so maybe he can help you. I had my third function added by the dealer and it was about $1500 as best as I remember as I had him do some other stuff while it was there.

It took me two years after buying my tractor to get over the cost and add the grapple etc.; tractors sure get expensive. An air ride seat had priority over everything else and that was about $1100.

That is one of the things about having a cab tractor, for a clean installation you really need to stick with OEM while open station you have more options as to mounting. MtnViewRanch sells all this stuff, but I believe for a cab, he recommends OEM. I bought hydraulic top link from him and the quality is equal to anyone's.

Blahahahaha. You're right about one thing.... Buying the tractor IS half the cost!! :laughing:

I added Oem triple remotes but don't have a 3rd function (yet).

You can do a single rear remote with an electric diverter and might save you some. OEM are more expensive but they fit perfectly and instructions make it a snap.

The oem 3rd function has fitted hard lines to go down your FEL if that matters to you or you can build your own.

Another option if you want to save a few bucks(still need the third function),I installed a Greens-Machine Thumb and a tooth bar.It works very well.
