Amazon 3rd function kits

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone has used one of these cheaper kits? Looks to me like a knockoff of the summit kit. Hope the link works.

There is 1 review and the guy installed it on an L2501, which I have. He installed it and was waiting on a grapple.

The picture looks like a D03 subplate mounted valve which is fairly common for a 3rd function valve in power beyond circuit. No clue on quality of components but the concept is proven and should work.

I'd say it all hinges on the quality of the components. Glad I didn't have to do that to install a 3rd function on my loader as I have 3 sets of remotes on the rear of both my tractors so all I did was I ran another set of hydraulic hoses from the back to the loader and installed a set of couplers at the juncture where I remove the loader from the tractor if required. When I need the 3rd function, all I do is plug in the male connectors to one of the vacant disconnects on the back of the tractor and use my already existing, in cab remote levers to actuate the loader mounted hydraulic disconnects. If I remember correctly, they whole setup cost me 250 bucks. Mostly use it for the power angle on my loader arm mounted snowplow and the grapple I welded to the top of one of my FEL buckets. I purchased a Green Machining grapple kit and mounted that to the top of one of my loader buckets in as much as I have no need for a dedicated grapple at all.

Which is a knockoff of the WR Long kit.

So, do you trust a knockoff of a knockoff?

I personally would be very particular about what I installed on a tractor's hydraulic system because it could be pretty expensive to repair if something goes wrong.

I wouldn't do it.
Generally in life you get what you pay for and you do have a top shelf tractor.
But heck from their ad it is "cutted" for best fit and designed for high "preasure" so what could possibly go wrong. But give it a try and give us the feed back.
IMHO if they can't get the spelling right ..... I would steer clear.

Probably all made in the same factory.

That's why I asked for feedback from anyone who had installed one of these cheaper kits. Just because they can't write proper English, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the product.

I did the exact same thing.

Ya, i stay away from chinese knockoffs. I once, years ago, bought replacement Remington cordless replacement cutter heads off of amazon cause they were 1/3 the cost as from Remington site. They looked the exact same, even the packaging. But they literally pulled my whiskers out of my face. Amazon refunded. Now i stick with name brand.

Now that's a CLOSE shave!

I did the exact same thing.

I've owned a ton of Kubota tractors over the years and the only one I owned that had no hydraulic disconnects on the back was my first one, a B1500 (I think it was). A small 3 cylinder Kubota with a hydro but it did have a loader on it. Every other one I've owned has come with at least 2 sets of remotes and the 2 I have now have 3 sets plus flow control on the topmost set.
