3rd function valve kit

[David_Kb7uns]

If tractor has a remote valve, run lines back there to operate what ever you want.

:scratchchin: JM :2cents: worth

Not even close to the same performance or being convenient for use.

I paid $899 for a factory third function kit for my L4240. It is well designed, and well laid out. I'm very pleased with it. I bought it from Messicks.

Look at the control grips, 2 different grips completely. I doubt that the kits are from the same company.

Brian, good catch on the control grips. I personally don't care for the pistol grip handle myself but I know it's a high quality product. Stanley

I understand that, one of the reasons that there are so many different styles, different strokes for different folks and all that.

Kubota doesn't have a 3rd function kit for the MX5100. I went with the W R long kit. Easy to install and works fine.

Just installed the Everythingattachment aka WR Long on my Kubota 4240 HSTC. It replaced the rear remote system that I found awkward to use and am now converting remotes to top and tilt.

I initially planned on running the power wire to the fuse panel but found the 12 volt power outlet to the right-rear of the seat a neat and easy place to tap.

Lessons learned-

Hook the hoses to the control valve before mounting the valve. I could not get a wrench on the fittings once I had installed the valve. Given the weigh to the valve and its location I almost wished I had removed the FEL first.

The WR long instructions are somewhat misleading in that it says both connections on the power beyond line under the seat are the same size (1 1/16 or 26mm) The top fitting is 26mm but the side fitting is larger, and although the two supplied fittings looked the same size they are not. There is also no need to cut the power beyond hard line per the instruction sheet, as as it fell on the ground after removing the two fittings.

I chose to use 3/4 heat shrink to cover the wires running from the pistol grip.

All in all an excellent kit and very easy to install for a non-cab model. It's a little more challenge for the cab version because of access where the valve is mounted. Finally had to seek help from my better half to hold the valve in place.

I must also give kudo's to WR Long. When I called them with a question, there was no hold time and Nelson really knew his stuff.

It is hard to make people realize the benefits over a diverter valve or using one of the rear remotes for the grapple but the WR Long valve kit is one of the best mods to do to a tractor and makes using the grapple with the ability to curl and grapple at the same time just about an extension of using ones hands to pick something up.
