I was thinking about getting a top-n-tilt kit for my L6060. However, I believe that the Kubota kit won't work if you have a backhoe subframe because the side tilt cylinder would hit the subframe. Kubota won't let you order a tractor in this configuration. Has anyone tried this? Maybe an aftermarket TnT kit might work? Worst case, I could use a top cylinder only--it would still be a big help. Thanks for your advice.
Top-n-tilt on a Grand L60 with backhoe subframe?

I have a L3560HSTC that I just installed a top link from Fit Right Hydraulics who is a member of TBN, not sure about here on OTT, but he does a great job and he would be the one to talk to about a top & tilt. I rarely use the tilt, so I just went with the top link. There is still a good amount of room around the 3-pt with the back hoe frame, I really don't see much of a problem, but I could be wrong, not having a tilt cylinder.
Yes, I stop by OTT a couple of times a day. As I remember, Kubota has a couple of issues with their cylinders for clearance.
I have done several sets for people with back hoes and no issues that I am aware of.
I'm waiting on a top link kit from them as well, I have the same tractor did you go with Kubota rear remotes? If so, how is it working?
Yes, I have the Kubota rear remotes, that's another story, but they work great and I have been using my grader blade with hydraulic swing and top link a lot and all work just fine. The story on the remotes is the dealer got the tractor torn apart to install the remotes and had the wrong one's, then after about 2+ weeks, and lots of pushing, finally got the tractor and the remotes were installed wrong, had to bring it back and have it fixed. Finally running good. Never any problem with my Top Link though.
Good to hear, I ordered my remotes through the dealer and installed myself. I got to say the kit is very nice and well thought out, but not cheap!
Did the rear remote come as a kit and did you have to purchase anything after that to have a working top and tilt? Does a person need knowledge in hydraulics to install it? If you don't mind me asking what was the kit price?
