Optiona Kubota 3rd valve control

[SCDolphin]

I am looking at an L 5240 or 5740. Does Kubota offer a factory 3rd valve controller like the new M series (there is a picture of it in the M series brochures). I want to use a 4n1 bucket but I would like a factory controller vs an aftermaket like WR Long - don't ask me why. Does it exist?? MadReferee made reference to it. If so is there a part number??

Thanks

Dolphin,

Kubota offers a Third function valve for all Kubota L40 series loaders. The third function valve works with the LA514, LA724 or the LA854. It's offered in Cab and non cab models to control hydraulic loader implements.

brian,

That sounds like what I'm looking for. Is that a third control point up front? What's this 4n1 bucket?

4 in 1 buckets have great advantages over standard buckets. They can act like a standard bucket, dump from the bottom, easy to dump over a wall or into a container or truck. It acts like your thumb and forefinger to pick up items and can be used like a little dozer. Makes picking up brush or logs or scrap a lot easier. Basically the bucket splits into 2 pieces everytrhing falls out. Or put a log on the ground and approach with bucket open and close until you "pinch" or lock onto the item. It just requires the third function valve mentioned earlier. There are many suppliers for 4 in 1 buckets and Kubota will be releasing one soon also.

Update:

Just saw the new Kubota 3rd remote mounted on the L5240! Man it looks nice!

It is a nice set up. The loader stick is replaced with a new one that has two buttons built into the handle. There is a (lighted) on-off switch a little below the handle for the third function valve.
