Is this what you are asking about?


If so its just a valve and joystick contril handle. Not a horrible price for the basic pieces but far from a complete kit. You will spend another $300 to fit it to your L3301. Do you have the knowledge and skills to do that?

This is less money, far more complete, and probably close to fitting a L3301 right out of the box

Yes that is the one.
Fast fingers and slow brain is my only defence!!
And yes I have done it before.
I figure about $250 for hoses, there is a shop here that makes them to order.
Thant you!

That is a lot of parts for the money.

I used a Chief valve in my DIY install on my LX and had just over $500 in the whole thing. I spent hours and hours configuring everything I wanted. I bought the valve from Bailey and the side port manifold from Summit. I bought most of the hoses and fittings from Discount Hydraulic Hose. BTW they offered a small TTWT discount.

I tucked the valve inside the loader frame.

I routed it all to the left side of my loader to make it less cluttered.

Thank you Dan.
Do you know if it will fit a L3301 with a LA525 loader?

I dont see anything but a valve, subplate, wiring harness, and couplers. Its tractor agnostic. You will have to make or buy all of the tractor specific brackets, hoses, and fittings.

The kit I linked is complete and mde to fit a L4701 so it should be a readonsble fit on a L3301.

I know which one I would buy and the decision is not even close.

Dan I was referring to this kit from EBAY, do you know if it will fit a L3301 with a LA525 loader?
Thanks !
