Hey guys, as the title states I’m looking to buy a 3rd function kit for my 2013 bx 2370. I wouldn’t mind buying each part separately either if somebody who has maybe done this before on a bx can show me to the links/parts numbers that I’ll need to buy.

I know you have to be carful of what solenoid you buy because of the GPM that the bx pump puts out.

I know I can easily install my own kit so the labor isn’t going to cost me a dime.

What are some good but cheap kits out there for the bx series? Which kit have you used and what did it cost?

I would like to spend around $500-$700 but $700 would prolly be about my max.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I plan to use a 3rd function for either a grapple or a 4-1 bucket.. havnt decided yet but either way I know I’ll want a 3rd function over a bypass valve. :)

Thanks for your help!

I did a similar thing with my '14 B2650. Since I am not familiar with tractors or its hydraulics, I just brought my pocketbook. I had my local dealer install my 3rd function kit, returned all my removed components. Took about a day and I was out around 900 bucks, perhaps consider that.

Lol... hydraulics are like voodoo science to me, so I also bit the bullet and ordered my L4060 with front 3rd function and 2 rear remotes.

Bailey hydraulics has a kit for $499 with no hoses, and
Landpride has a complete kit for BX 60 and 70 series tractors. kit # 380-137a Messicks.com has it for $739. Google showed some similar results for Ebay also.

Thanks for the reply’s guys. I am thinking about either going with the landpride kit or the messicks Kubota kit, the everything attachments kit looks nice too but I think it’s the most expensive.

The thing is if I get the everything attachments kit for the 3rd function then I can also buy the kit with pre installed T’s.. this will allow me to split off and run 2 lines out to the rear to act as a rear remote from the 3rd function switch . I plan on eventually buying a sickle bar mower for the rear as well as some other rear implements that would use the rear hydraulics I would also like to eventually buy a rear hydronic too link for my back blade when I level my driveway in the summer time.
