This is helpful. I am also considering the 3rd function kit.

Glad to hear ...
Some other things to mention..
The Joy stick shaft needs to be replace with a new hollow one that accommodates the wire for the new joystick knob. One word of caution .. The original joy stick shaft was threaded on (by the factory) using "Red" Loctite thread lock. It took two guys with big wrenches to finally break free the threads. Use caution as it would be very easy to damage the pin socket made out of cast material (see #8 item in image).

Also the installation instructions provided in the Kioti OEM kit (RXA-111) are not very verbose .. using images to tell the story. The images were printed as a black and white images and hard to interpret. I called up the supplier and asked to send be color photos so they could be viewed with better detail (he pulled them from the Kioti Dealer-only access website). I've attached them here as well (if you decide to install yourself). Hope this helps other owners.

Thanks for sharing. It would be good to give them feedback for them to include written instructions with more detail. Hopefully they will enhance that in the short term.

Question: What is the going rate these days for the Kioti version of this kit?

That "is" the Kioti (OEM) version. The kit # is RXA-111. I've seen it sold online anywhere from $950 - $1100 ... shipping varies.

I try to in the next couple days.

FYI ... jogging your memory or "to-do" list

Yes it would be good to see multiple pictures or even video of where the lines connect to and how it functions with the joystick etc. The WR Long pics in zip file only go so far.

Is there a different part number for the RXA111 3rd function if you have an Open Station vs Cab?

I bought the RXA111 and I have an open station but can't seem to validate if anything would be different than the cab version. All the documentation is for a cab.

One thing that is different is the joy stick shaft (uses a different shaft for ROPS vs Cab versions). However my OEM 3rd function kit (RXA111 kit) came with both.

Yup. I had both in mine as well. From what I can tell there is nothing different.

I got mine installed and it was mostly painless. The hardest part was taking off the old joystick from the lever assembly. That nut and stick both had red Loctite. I feared breaking the cast metal lever assembly but it worked out.

Yup ... same issue I had with the red Loctite ... it was a PITA!

How did you end up pathing the wires going to the 3rd Function solenoid/valves?
As you know, the install instructions are poor in that regard.
I am also ordering hard lines (in lieu of the rubber soft lines that the kit offers) that go from the 3rd Function valve to the front end of the loader where the hydraulics' terminate as I am looking for a "cleaner" install (wasn't bad only ~ $130.00 xtra for the hard lines and clamps)

I will have to take some pictures of the wiring. Right now its still a bit loose. I had some difficulty threading the wires through the stick. I had to remove the rubber covering on the black wire to get it through. So I put some heat shrink tubing on the connections but haven't sealed it yet. Waiting to figure out the best routing of the wires behind the seat and near the stick.

Where did you get the hard lines and is there a set part number/kit?

I went to Tractor Brothers (Tractor Brothers) aka (Mahindra Tractor Parts) .
They have always been super helpful and are a very large Kioti parts supplier despite what the name implies . Of course you can also go to your local Kioti dealer. Additionally you can have your local hydraulic shop fab some up. I wanted to stay consistent with the bend angles so I opted to go with the OEM parts. I just cut them a bit shorter to avoid the other connectors for the loader bucket. Probably paid a bit more but it really wasn't that much more. Shipping for me was reasonable.

Also I was able to get the wires threaded thru OK as I just staggered the 3 bullet connectors as I threaded thru them thru the tube. (but I know what your mean)

Appreciate the info.
