You'll find a lot of threads that talk about 3rd functions...W. R. Long is often mentioned as a good one. Mine is not a Long, but was provided by Everything Attachments with the grapple I bought last year and it works great on my L3130.

EA sells Long's.
Im going with a Long right now but I wouldn't pass up that Michigan Iron's new unit if my dealer happened to be familiar with them. A little more money but probably a little more for your money too.
Either the Long or the MIE unit would be my choices

While you are searching you might as well talk to Kubota about a whole goods kit. They come with everything for installation including excellent pics and instructions. Probably more money. Likely a neater more tidy install.

+1 on the W&R Long valve. I have them on both my tractors and they work well with no problems so far.

What are your priorities? How much of an issue is cost? How important are the aesthetics?
On the low end I would recommend something like a Prince "Wolverine" series valve...on the upper end look at the OEM and 3rd party kits as suggested...

I had a WR Long on a Mahindra 5035 and now my M7060HD12. They are great quality and the control fits in the hand like a glove. The thumb rocker button is placed in the right spot and also user friendly. No problems with either unit.
