You are NOT allowed to own a Kubota tractor, UNTIL you learn how to spell Kubota!! ha ha ha

Congrats on the new tractor. I've heard some quotes on here from members having it done at the dealership. But I don't remember any of them.
When I bought my M9540 I made a deal to get the 3rd function kit, 3rd rear remote kit and 2spd PTO kit at wholegoods dealer cost. Then I installed them. The kits are complete down to needed zipties. Detailed instructions with pictures.
The 3rd function was very simple to install. Comes with a different joystick handle that has switches. The tractor has a wiring harness plug-in already in place to plug the kit wiring into for power.
If you are mechanically inclined with standard tools you can do the kit.
Price the kit.
Then price the dealer install fee.
Then you'll know whether it's worth it for you to do it yourself.
Maybe the owner didn't even know what he had? Could be he thought it was a Chinese imposter, so he priced it low??? lolMaybe that's why I got my B7610 at what many on here considered a steal. The seller misspelled Kubota in the CL ad.
Any pictures or writeup?I did mine on the cheap on one of my Kubota's. It has 3 sets of remotes and the most I use are 2 sets at a time so I softlined one set with a QD split at the loader and fabbed up a bracket on the loader cross tube. When I need the loader remotes, I connect the hoses and use the remote valve to run what I need run I think the whole setup was about 150 bucks and my time.

Sounds like what I need.

Thanks!Npt really, just measured what I needed from the rear quick disconnects to the loader valve, made a carrier bracket from some flat stock and installed male Pioneer QD's. Ran the hoses through the Kubota sheath up the loader arm to the cross tube and welded on another bracket with anoth set of Pioneer QD's there. The other ends of the loader hoses have female Pioneer ends. Got all the hoses at hydraulic fittings .com and all the Pioneer couplers at my local NH dealer (had them all in stock. <snip>
