Kubota doesn't offer top and tilt on L3560?? And I already bought the tractor!!

[s219]

A Top & Tilt set-up does not need special treatment. After you get the stack of Kubota valves (the expensive part), there are only hoses and hydraulic cylinders to deal with. Easy stuff.

It is nice to have the control levers built into the tractor, but that comes with the valves if your tractor has the levers as OEM.

So just tell Kubota to put on the valves and you'll take care of the rest. Plus, you'll save a ton of money.

I agree with this 100%. I went with Kubota valves on my L3200 (very nice integration and good quality valves) but did the cylinders and hoses myself. Saved a lot of money that way. Cylinders and hoses are somewhat generic, and there will be nothing special about ones you would have bought from Kubota if they existed. I think I spent about $400 all together for two cylinders and custom hoses (hoses from Discount Hydraulic Hose, a TBN sponsor). Probably be a little more for an L3560 if it takes larger/longer cylinders, but they won't be that much bigger. All I did was look for cylinders that matched the range of the mechanical top and side links. Fit Rite is another good option, but I'd mainly recommend that for someone who can't put together their own setup -- it's turnkey and very nice work, but you can save a lot of money if you are able to do everything yourself.

just curious what kind of deal you got? I got everything but the extra remotes and it was right around 24K.

Here is what i got

Total Configured Price
$35,240.00
1 FRONT - 10-16.5 R4 Titan Trac Loader
REAR - 420/70-24 R4 Firestone All Traction Utilityinc.
1 FRONT LDR FOR GRAND L SERIES L4060$4,486.00
1 72" QUICK ATTACH HEAVY DUTY ROUND BACK BUCKET$1,071.00
1 BOLT ON CUTTING EDGE(73" w/11 Holes)$227.00
1 3RD FUNCTION VALV KIT$899.00
1 TOP-N-TILT KIT$871.00
1 REMOTE HYD CONTROL$587.00
1 2ND POSITION LEVER & STACKING KIT$316.00
1 3RD POSITION LEVER & STACKING KIT$316.00
2 DOUBLE ACTING VALVE$480.00
1 FLOAT DETENT VALVE$302.00
1 SUNSHADE (CANOPY) KIT$437.00

Should be right around 27k, I've changed it a few times and we haven't finalized the paper work yet, should know for sure by friday. I just added today a land pride HR2572 box scraper with Hydraulic rippers that was about 2800 more.

So right around 30k after i get done monkeying around with the add ons and such
dealer found after market Top N tilt so they are ordering that for me

apparently each dealer has there own Tier on pricing based on volume, and my dealer is a really low volume dealer, about 1 tractor a month or so. They could only do so much. we live out in the sticks and i wanted to deal with someone local.

I hear yah. I drove a couple hrs to save $$ myself. You won't be disappointed with this tractor. On top of the many upgrades from the STD L, it's also several upgrades from the last Grand L. I love mine
