Has anyone purchased The aftermarket 3point linkage kit offered on eBay or amazon? I need a setup for my B26 and I was quoted $750 from my dealer for it. Thought I might try the knock off kit for a couple hundred but would like to hear from any seasoned veterans if you have used one.

The set from Kubota isn't cheap, but it is the best option- it will be better quality than the aftermarket sets.

My neighbor with a B2150 bought one on ebay (from India) and had to drill/ream some holes & grind the top link narrower to get it to mount, but he still wasn't happy with it. He had to cut off the upper "U" shaped parts of the lift rods & weld them back on at different angles to get everything to line up as it should. It works, but is not nearly as nice or strong as an original Kubota hitch.
