3rd Function kit for $850

/ 3rd Function kit for $850 #4  
YouTube has some instalation vids on tractors other than LS, and they don't seem to complicated to install. However are these produts OK to use on a 3038H? How would (or will?) the extra hydraulic flow affect the hydrostatic xmission?? Anyone installed one as an after market on an "H"model .

I recently purchased an LS xr4046hc with the hydrostat trans, then I installed the Fit Rite hydraulics setup. It has worked perfectly and has no effect on the transmission. I am completely happy with the way it works. I hope that helps. mine is a little bigger tractor but I don't think that would make much difference.

Brian (fit rite hydraulics) supplied me with a 3rd function diverter kit which I installed on my U5030. I couldn't be happier with it!

Brian, please explain to these guys the difference in your kit and the one GmanBart is looking at??

I think if you are going to claim a much cheaper price you should also clarify these differences in terms that potential buyers/users will understand.

Thanks.

Is this a "true" 3rd function(in conjunction with all of the normal functions of the FEL at the same time) or does it tap the function of the "curl" of the FEL? Not saying either is wrong. One dealer quoted $600 installed and another $850 + 3 hrs labor. Thinking the cheaper was taping in the curl function?

Tarnold,

This is something that's often misunderstood. There is a significant difference in useability between the two types as well as price.

I'll let Brian explain the differences of use as well as how that affects the price.

Well, to start with my I offer 2 types of kits, a diverter kit for $615 or a true 3rd function kit for $650. Either one of the kits + $34 shipping costs.

My kits are custom fit to each tractor based on how and where the purchaser wants to mount the valve. Not what I think is best or easiest, although I am happy to make recommendations. Most everyone has their own ideas and I am willing to work with those ideas.

If a person is installing something, I figure that they should be able to do it however they want to, not how I say that it should be and that "this is how the kit is". My kits are not for everyone, some people don't want the options and want to be told "this is how it is". I'm just not one of those people and don't expect my customers to be either.

Most of my valve kits, either the FEL kits or the rear remote kits are a 2 stage process. The valve, controls along with the QDS and a sample hose to be used for measuring purposes are shipped in the first shipment. The customer gets this installed and measures for hoses. They get me the hose requirements, I get those made and shipped. The customer then has a custom fit system how they want it to be for their tractor. If I had access to the 100s of tractors out there, I would build a "this is how it is kit" for each tractor and it would be as good or most likely better than any of the OEM stuff. But to do that right, I need the tractor at my shop, If I could afford to get all these tractors to do that, then I would just be retired and not do this anyway, because I would have to be a multi-millionaire to even think about that, and I am not.

So in my kits for a 3rd function, A person typically gets a Scorpion control grip
Either a diverter valve or an electric over hydraulic valve and subplate
QDs in a mounting plate for out front on the FEL
A sample measuring hose
Custom fit hoses and fittings to complete a custom fit installation.
Someone to talk to if and when needed, that somewhat knows what he is doing.

Thanks for asking, any other questions, just need to ask. ;)

Hi Tarnold,

I opted for the kit that taps into the curl of the FEL. There's a button on the joystick, which when depressed, directs the flow from the curl fxn to the 3rd fxn ports I mounted on the loader - which controls the angle of the snow plow. When the button is not depressed the joystick controls only the loader. I cannot operate the 3rd fxn and all loader fxns at the same time. Besides, I'm not coordinated enough to do 3 things at once :)

Here's a link where I posted a few pics of the installation http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/ls-tractors/295948-u5030-3rd-function-diverter-valve.html

No argument there....he was great when I ordered my top link, and I'm going to get another for my MF soon. 3rd function is on my list, and just happened to see these by accident.
