Kubota doesn't offer top and tilt on L3560?? And I already bought the tractor!!

[jokergerm]

Long story short

Ordered a brand new tractor with top and tilt with each rear remotes

Local dealer didn't have one in Stock, I agreed to drive 300 miles each way for a dealer transfer to get the L3560 cause that's what I wanted

Get back last night, take the crates to my local dealer today. They got a Phone call from kubota last night stating they don't offer top and tilt on the L3560 and they don't know when they will have it ready
There is a problem with engineering on it

So now I have a tractor at my dealer without the options I ordered and no way to fix it from kubota

I am pissed, I spend over a month reading and planning and calling dealers getting an anwsers to questions

What do I do? My thoughts are they either figure it out now and get top and tilt on there

Or send me the next size GL60 that has it at no extra cost

I know it's not my dealers fault, they were doing there best. The options are in the computer for top and tilt on the l3560

This is all on kubota now

Thanks guys

Cancel the order for the top and tilt, and turn around and call Brian, MtViewRanch at Fit rite Hydraulics. You will have a better system anyway at a more favorable price. They done you a favor, now get your tractor in your hands and get with Brian.

The issue I have is I wanted all Kubota parts so I can get it serviced by my local dealer under warranty I live out in the middle of nowhere I don't want to deal with aftermarket stuff and I was financing it wrapping it all up into the Kubota financing package as one deal and now I am not able to do what we had planned on doing due to Kubota not having the proper Parts this lies the frustration and the issue

How'd they sucker you in to picking up your own dealer transfer 300 miles away?

I offered to help speed things up and im getting a really good deal so I was trying to helpout since I'm getting what I wanted

A Top & Tilt set-up does not need special treatment. After you get the stack of Kubota valves (the expensive part), there are only hoses and hydraulic cylinders to deal with. Easy stuff.

It is nice to have the control levers built into the tractor, but that comes with the valves if your tractor has the levers as OEM.

So just tell Kubota to put on the valves and you'll take care of the rest. Plus, you'll save a ton of money.

just curious what kind of deal you got? I got everything but the extra remotes and it was right around 24K.

I believe Brian usually recommends the OEM controls for a nicer fit, I got them on my 5740 and really like them. I'm sure Brian can set you up with cylinders.

Trouble with a DIY at least for me is what to do if you screw it up. Mine got a small leak and the dealer picked it up replaced the leaking valve and brought it back no charge.

Another thing you can do is if you have at least 1 OEM valve, Brian can set you up with up to 3 additional electric/hydraulic valves. You will control all of the cylinders with the 1 original valve and an electric switch will select which valve will be active. You wind up with a total of 4 sets of remotes for less money.

Don't limit yourself to Kubota only for TnT... You won't even be able to tell the difference in the cylinders if you go fit rite. Brian color matches and fits perfect. You will probably save a few bucks too!

I added oem remotes because I wanted perfec fit and finish was important but TNT went fit rite and I honestly think its an upgrade..
