Source for Kioti Branded 3rd function?

[pcustoms]

Any online sources for the Kioti Brand 3rd function kit online?

Huge price difference from local dealers, my dealer is currently closed (covid 19) and can't really order parts for the foreseeable future.

You may try Michigan Iron and Equipment. A Kioti dealer, with a very good online parts ordering system, including accessories like Backhoe thumbs and OEM Hydraulics. Check online or give them a call.

+1 for MIE. I think I gave 800 and change for a diverter style (although they don't like you to call it that) two years ago. Nice kit and very complete. If you are reasonably handy it's no big deal to install.

Not looking for a diverter.

I am looking for the factory Kioti 3rd function kit.

Did you try any other dealers?

I think my dealer was around $600 for the Kioti branded third function. However, I'd caution you to afford yourself a bit more time than you might think during the install. I had challenges with the instructions. They were obviously written by someone for whom English is a second language, and they weren't simplistic. The directions referenced the same part by two different references (1 and N may be the same part), and you had to have two different references side by side to keep them straight.

I wouldn't discount an aftermarket third function, if you're looking for a quality part.

3 dealers around here, I have 3 quotes.

1 is closed, 1 is $$$ and the last never got back to me about buying the tractor so not dealing with them again.

Seems like I'll probably make the time this weekend and just build my own kit. I was in the $600 range for kioti parts, $900 for the WR Long setup is ridiculous. Both seem higher then what a valve, plate, a joystick and some hoses should cost.

Let us know how that works out pcustoms. Maybe even create a tutorial

Just so you're aware, I'm not sure the Kioti brand is a "true" third function. I lose curl/dump when I open/close my grapple, so I'm thinking it's a diverter style. But...my experience with tractors isn't all that much, so I could be mistaken. I verified everything is installed correctly, because my thinking was that I shouldn't have lost curl/dump with a true third function. But whatever. I've learned to work around it.

Do you have the part number for this 3rd function kit that you bought? I'm looking to add one to my tractor sometime this summer. TIA.

NXA127 is what I believe it is.

Thanks for that CJ. I'll check my local dealer to see what he charges for that kit. I'm going to need one and I'd prefer to go Kioti. Do you have a switch on the loader handle or a separate lever? I just spoke with my local dealer. The Kioti kit is $1200.00 for the kit or $1500.00 installed. OUCH. I didn't give them the part number. The parts guy was busy and I'm not sure what the kit number is.

Handle should look like this when all done.

I checked the installation manual, but in typical South Korean to English fashion, they don't include the part number for the entire kit....just part numbers for individual parts.

Be careful removing the factory handle. Mine was on there with red Loctite and was a bear to remove.

I almost dropped dead when they told me $1200.00 for the kit. Did you keep the receipt for the kit? That would have a part number on it. I called Michigan Iron, no answer.

Unfortunately, I don't have the receipt handy. I don't think I'd pay $1200 for the kit, especially with how hard it was to put together. They'd have to come a long way with their instructions for the kit to be worth that much...and some parts of the kit would have to be made out of gold.

Thanks, I'll keep hunting.

Here is the one that a couple of us did a few years back on our ck35's imagine it would be the same for your 3510.

Wait? So that nice, ergonomic handle gets replaced with one like your picture?

Yup. I wasn't a fan. That's why others have modified the existing handle to add buttons and such. You get used to it after a while.
