Just bought a new L6060 and was wondering what the best top and tilt kit is? Should I go the Kubota kit or is there a better aftermarket option?
Thanks

I can't speak about aftermarket.

My dealer installed the Kubota kit as a way of apologizing for the 14 month delay in getting my tractor. It works great, and integrates perfectly.

I offer 2 different kits for Grand L cat 1-2 tractors.
One set without check valves, one set with check valves.
I doubt that you can find anything any better anywhere.
Fill out the contact page if you are interested.

+1 for fitritehydraulics.com !

It may have changed since I bought my L6060 in 2020 but the Kubota OEM T&T kit was a disaster. There were clearance issues with the cylinder ports. The day the tractor was delivered, I raised the 3pt hitch and it sheared off a fitting on the tilt cylinder. The dealer "fix" was a plumbers nightmare which never worked properly.

I eventually took the kit off and ordered one from Brian at Fit Rite. No problems since.

It's possible Kubota has fixed this issue though.

I've had a FitRite hydraulic top link for ten years now. It's proven to be a superior product. Not a moments problem. A true homeowner easy install.

BTW - FitRite was recommended by the Kubota dealer OVER the one available from Kubota.

If me I would order the hoses and hydraulic top and side links with pilot valves from Mt View. See post # 4.

Fit Rite also offers valves. I don’t know if he offers the pilot valves.


Here is a web page with several sources of top link and side link hydraulic valves with and without the pilot valves. I personally prefer valves with the pilot valve.

My dealer tried & failed 2, maybe 3 times to get one that fit & didn't leak. FitRite fit perfectly. A few years in FitRite developed a pinhole. He promptly replaced it under warranty with no questions. Will get FitRite again if I ever get another machine.

Not cheap & long lead times, but FitRite is worth it.
