Dealer got back to me with pricing. I had requested for the 3 rear remotes, top n tilt, and third function for FEL. Quite high. I replied asking for just the price on the parts not including installation.

Their reply:

$1800 is a fair price for 3 remotes installed. In my case, the individual parts priced out at $550 per remote. I figured it was worth $50 each to let them do the install. If you are handy with tools and have calloused knuckles, it isn't that hard a job to do yourself.

$950 is also a good price for a T&T kit although I'm not a fan of the Kubota product. It might cost a few $$ more but I'd go with the Fit Rite kit.

If the remaining $1200 is for the 3rd function valve install, that price is a bit high. The dealer installed my W&R Long valve for $850. You could save a few bucks if you do the 3rd function install yourself. It's a fairly easy job. The W&R Long valve kit comes with good instructions.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably have them do the remotes, and order the T&T cylinders from Fit Rite. Sent them an email the other day, waiting to hear back.

From what it looks like the install on the T&T is as simple as replacing the top link and side link then connecting the hoses.

Correct. The tilt cylinder replaces the adjustable side link. You may want to put the adjustable side link on the opposite side to increase the overall tilt capability of the kit.
