Just bought a new L6060 and was wondering what the best top and tilt kit is? Should I go the Kubota kit or is there a better aftermarket option?
Thanks

I offer 2 different kits for Grand L cat 1-2 tractors.
One set without check valves, one set with check valves.
I doubt that you can find anything any better anywhere. Fill out the contact page if you are interested.
It may have changed since I bought my L6060 in 2020 but the Kubota OEM T&T kit was a disaster. There were clearance issues with the cylinder ports. The day the tractor was delivered, I raised the 3pt hitch and it sheared off a fitting on the tilt cylinder. The dealer "fix" was a plumbers nightmare which never worked properly.
I eventually took the kit off and ordered one from Brian at Fit Rite. No problems since.

Here is a web page with several sources of top link and side link hydraulic valves with and without the pilot valves. I personally prefer valves with the pilot valve.
My dealer tried & failed 2, maybe 3 times to get one that fit & didn't leak. FitRite fit perfectly. A few years in FitRite developed a pinhole. He promptly replaced it under warranty with no questions. Will get FitRite again if I ever get another machine.
Not cheap & long lead times, but FitRite is worth it.
