Top and Tilt Control (L39)

OEM Top and Tilt for my Kubota L39

The most common control I've seen is a single spool control for each of the top and tilt - is there another kind?

The Kubota control seems to have positional control (1,2,3,4....) Kind of like the "draft" control. You want to set it at 3 for this and 4 for that... seems like it's repeatable. I can't seem to figure how that works with regards to the hydraulics - wouldn't there have to some type of limit switch to tell the control how extended the cylinder is? or it just a standard spool control?
(the attached picture is of another users TNT set-up on a L39 - the OEM version - How do the levers work?)


My Kubota dealer here in Ontario seems to be out to lunch when I ask them questions regarding a Top and Tilt for our L39 - OEM or otherwise!

I wanted to stick to Kubota parts but was told by them you can't get the Kubota TNT controls or cylinders in Canada. I can't believe it's true. Does any one have any experience buying in Canada?

thx

The L=39 does have position control hitch but it doesn't have draft control as standard equipment.

You just have to move the lever to the valve you want to operate.

I answered my own question by spending $1300 and buying the control. Answer: Standard spool valves inside a fancy housing!)

Now I have a second question - Do the TNT cylinders made by/for Kubota for their Top and Tilt kit have check-valves?
