I know LS has this lever on the rear on their XR series open station, but do any other compacts have this like TYM554, RK55?

John Deere 4R has an option to raise/lower the three point at the rear.

I wish my M6040 had a toggle switch on the back of the rear fender. I have an 8 foot chunk of quarter round molding with a shoe lace tied into a loop on one end. Tractor running - slip loop over 3-point lift lever - go out back - push/pull molding - raise/lower 3-point lower arms. Rube Goldberg/Mickey Mouse - but it does work and saves a lot of time and trips making adjustments.

Kioti NX and the new DK series has the rear lever,
I wish it was a standard on any newer tractor

The Kioti RX7320 has a mechanical lever for raising and lowering the 3PT when standing at the rear of the tractor.

- Ford: '88 3910 Series II, '80 3600, '65 3000; '07 6530C Branson with FEL, 2020 LS MT225S. Case-IH 395 and 895 with cab. All Diesels
My 6530 has that option and that was the item which first got my attention when shopping for a cab tractor back in 2007 and as a result, after shopping all it's other amenities sold me on the product.
For a guy who farms alone, that sir is indispensable and well worth your attention. Telescoping tips another gotta have. And 3rd, tube-pin lift arm stabilizers. If you are considering another badge, call a dealer and ask; if that's your only recourse.

When Dad and I were tractor shopping I thought that would be the worlds greatest feature after having spent several years fighting to get things hooked up to our old 8N Ford.
The CK Series Kioti we ended up with did not have said feature and I was in the process of trying to figure out how to rig something when I got a wild hair (and a 25% off coupon) and bought the Cat I quick Hitch from Harbor Freight.
All of our older (antique) equipment has gone under the torch and welder to now be "QH Compatible" and the only new piece I've bough was likewise compatible. Now I only get off the tractor to hook / unhook the PTO when I use the rotary cutter, anything else I never leave the seat.
Given you're looking at a higher HP & Cat rating than we are, a QH might not be in your budget, but just some food for thought.

My NX has it and is very useful. I can't remember from looking at the Kioti CK3510SE if that was included with the SE upgrades. The telescopic arms were and those give a little up/down play as well.
