I am getting ready to order 3rd function kit for my L2800. Can get the kit from Summit for approx $600 on sale this weekend, but would have to source the hoses separately . Or I can order kit with my grapple from EA for $970 which would include the hoses. For those who have already done this, which choice makes the most financial sense or is it a toss up?

If you have a fair priced hydraulic shop near you, you might want to get the kit with no hoses and then measure carefully to get hoses that are routed where you want them. I didn't use the hoses that were with the kit because I chose a more protected route using a great shop in my area, of course we don't know where in the USA you live.

$370 for the hoses is double the cost of off the shelf hoses.

I did all the fittings and hoses for adding front and rear aux hydraulics for a fraction of the cost of either of my local shops. They are easy to work with and I got fast shipping (PA to VA) that did not slow me down on the install.
