Thats simply the price Dan

Warm soap and water. Dan

How huge - $600 vs $1000? As stated early on the only real difference is cosmetic. The OEM kit MAY be a little cleaner looking but functionally they all do the same thing using the same basic valve and joystick button control. In your case Kubota also offers a hydraulic SSQA latching option...

Condensation is the usual source. Dan

Thats 15 gallons - SUDT2 should be able to suck up better part of a quart of H2O. Sounds like a LOT of water coming from somewhere. Dan

Is this SUDT2? Dan

Did you disconnect it from the lift arm? Dan

Its not a quality issue - its a plumbi g choice by Kubota. Best guess bssed on the parts diagram is the Kubota cyinders have SAE ports. Mounting a DPOCV on them is going to be tough although I have a (untested) idea. Nothing special about the top link so an aftermarket with lock valve will...

"Whole goods" are implements and packaged options as opposed to "parts". The parts department does not handle whole goods sales. You need to speak with a salesperson as to what is included ln that package. I am reasonably sure its not everything shown on the parts diagram. Dan

The kit is a "whole goods" package for the LA1153 loader. Option # M1867 for ROPS machines Option # M1977 for cabbed machines Messicks lists both at $1021. Dan

If an extra $600 is not a factor buy OEM. It will fit and work right out of the box and install should be quick. At this point in my life $600 does not pay for much of my time. Dan

Kubota and Land Pride TnT cylinders do not come with lock valves so that pretty much eliminates them. The dealers quoted the most expensive vakve configuration offered. Dan

You do realize you need lots more than just the Scorpion handle. You need an electric multiplier starting around $600. You are better off price wise installing a third party third function kit. And the plumbing will be much neater. Here is one for the standard L models. Buy it for the parts...

One more time - you dont need a remote valve to run a log splitter. You plumb it exactly like a backhoe. Dan

You are lost in the woods again. Dan
