I have a Kubota M5040 with one rear hydraulic remote, it has room for two more.

After reading about the "Top N Tilt" remotes, I'd like to add at least a second remote. The dealer said it would cost around $700-800. Is this a reasonable price?

No it's not reasonable, OTOH it's what my dealer wanted to install TNT on my B7800 :eek:

I went back & checked what I was charged for the second valve when I bought a tractor in '06. Good or Bad it was 740 dollars.

I paid 1200 for 2 when I bought my tractor in the fall.

Okay, thanks for the feedback folks. The cost of the second remote, plus the TNT and hoses is starting to get pretty expensive :( My manual labor is cheaper, LOL.

Why not use what you have and just make it Top only.

I went to the dealer (Dallas/Ft. Worth area)this week and they said $750 for a rear remote on my L3400.
