Installing the Kioti 3rd function kit? read this

[cjoffutt]

Can someone share the part number of the Kioti 3rd function kit. I am looking to put one on my new NX4510HC. I like the factory loader handle that is in the cab model and would like to keep that if at all possible.

The kit has a replacement handle with the buttons on it. It's significantly different than the factory loader handle, but you may be able to modify it if you're creative and very handy. I thought about it, but the new handle operates the loader the same...just looks and feels different.

I bought the John Deere handle, shaped just like the factory one in my NX , the shape and button placement is very comfortable.

I do agree that the JD handle is extremely comfy. My dad's 3046R has this handle and it is rather intuitive on the button layout. The NX I test drove prior to purchasing mine was 'acceptable' but not as 'natural' feeling as the JD UP/Down button location via the thumb. If this is something I cannot get accustomed to the pointer & middle finger layout I'll for sure be switching it over to the JD handle if it's only a $75.00 switch. I did not even think something from JD would be that cheap, lol.

What are the actual JD part numbers in your cart? The picture will not blow up clearly enough to read them.

Here is a link to the thread about the handle.

+1 on countrybumpkin's suggestion.
I used the JD grip as well and I love it.

There was no Kioti option when I added the 3rd function and there were things about the WR Long kit I wasn't a fan of either so I cobbled together my own.

I attached my write-up from my project below. It should have all the part numbers in it you need. I got them from that thread or one like it here somewhere.

Good luck on yours.

Thanks for the info!! I am going to look into the JD handle as well.

I would ensure it's going to work like a true 3rd function kit. My DK won't curl and dump very well while lifting or lowering so I'm worried the 3rd function kit would do the same - so it basically acts like a a diverter kit where you loose your curl and dump feature while operating the open/close on the grapple.
