Purchase/Install Top n Tilt

[JohnnyW]

I just purchased a used Kubota L3830GST. I was wondering where to purhase a top and tilt kit with an additional auxillary lever? Also is it hard to install etc. My local dealer wants $1800.00. Any suggestions? Or should I let the pros do it. I have a fairly decent wrenching back ground just not on tractors.

My guess is that you can do this for under $1000. You might get more and better answers over in either the hydraulics forum and the Kubota forums.

If you go all aftermarket, think about 3 remotes, not much more $ and you can always use an extra remote.

Good luck

John: I was able to do 3 remotes this summer for under $500. Your additional cost will be for the 2 cylinders, plus hose and fittings to them.

Thank you for all of your help. This seems manageable enough. Way back in the day I had partial ownership in another Kubota and it had TNT. I can't imagine living life with out it.
