Geared leveling box for L4701

[scottfarm1]

My old Massey Ferguson had a leveling box with a crank for leveling the 3 point hitch. Boy do I miss it. Is there an aftermarket one to fit my tractor? The L4701 goes from 15 1/2" closed to 20" open. Has anybody found one that works.

Search "tractor leveling box" and you will find a bunch of possibilities.
There are several dozen new leveling box sellers on E-Bay as well.
I wanted a new one for my Ford 1920, and was able to find a suitable one on E-bay.
I have often wondered WHY tractors are no longer sold with them.
It is a BIG DEAL to me also.
I have a leveling box on each of my (older) tractors, and would not want to be without it.
I guess the manufacturers now want to force the buying of more hydraulic stuff, like "top & tilt".

All the ones on ebay are too long. They do have alot of them on ebay but I just can't find one that will fit.

You might try calling Messick's in Pa.
They are VERY helpful folks, and sell Kubota as well.
Try Ken Sweet, at Sweet Farm Equipment (Canmer. Ky.) also, He might have a source.

Good luck trying to get TnT from Kubota. It took me 3 months to get crap leaky improperly sized cylinders with my new L4060. Dealer is refunding me for them & I have good ones on order from Fit Rite.

Did you get your remotes from Kubota. Did you already have FEL. I also have decided to go with FIT RITE but I don't have FEL so I will have to get the remote kit from Kubota.

I got all the valves & plumbing for the 3 rear remotes & the TnT for my old L3200 from FitRite. It kicked add except for some hose measurement & fitment issues on my part.

Given my L4060 is a cabbed machine I just went with OEM rear remotes. I think Brian even recommends that for canned machines. At any rate I like the push pull QDs, they are as nice as you can get except for flat faced connectors.

My current crap TnT cylinders on my L4060 leak down in a day or 2. I think it's the valves, but haven't messed with checking the current cylinders unplugged yet. So the rear valves aren't as good as the front valves in terms of leak down. Slightly worse than the Bucher valves from Fit Rite I put on the L3200. Those Bucher would leak down in just under a week. A day is the minimum leak down I'd find acceptable.
