Kubota F series tachometer

[Gkk20011]

I have the F3680 and want to add a tach. Techs were an optional factory or dealer add on and so my first choice is the OEM before opting for after market. I have not been able to find the Kubota tach so far.
Maybe someone knows, is a tach optional on the newer F series mowers? That would probably be the best fit. Has anyone gone down this route of adding a tach after the fact.? Any thoughts?

I think I found my answer. Kubota does offer the tach on the new F mowers as an option but at $293 according to the build it page. Ouch. I don稚 think I need one that bad. I am considering an after market called Tiny Tach.

Any thoughts or experience?

Fine if you want one but I don't really see the point?

Either it its idling, running flat out to the governed max speed when mowing, or anywhere in-between when just transporting.

Would you mind elaborating?

Well, the more data the better. I agree when things are running correctly a number is not needed. But if things begin to not run correctly it could serve as a warning or heads up to let you
know to do some preventative service. They were offered as an option so obviously some people must have seen value in it. I can see value but obviously at a price point. like everything.
