EAT 3rd function

[Jasper2018]

Ordered grappler, now need 3rd function. Has anyone installed a Everything Attachments one? Seems like a fairly straightforward install and save $2200 from dealer.
$1,000 for 3rd function
$1200 install
Everything attachments 3rd function around $850

maybe just me, but i think your math is a wee bit wonky....
$1,000 for 3rd function from dealer
EA version is $850
so, really you're saving $150 NOT $2200

You can't include the $1200 from dealer as YOU are installing it, right ??

Please consider delivery time. Be a real bummer if you got the grapple THEN found out EA can't ship 3rd unit for another 4-14 weeks... See if Kubota has the 3rd kit in stock /delivery time. depending on what you need the grapple for , it might make sense to spend the extra $150, to get 3rd kit ahead of whenever grapple shows up.
I know if I ever need a 3rd function, I'll buy the dual live rear remote kit for my BX23S. Better did than the parttime 3rd fnx kit.
option, always look at options...

Yes! Look at the dual remote as an option for operating the grapple. I have the dual remote on my BX24d for a 3 in one bucket but find it really useful for a lot of other things. Have you ever used a hydraulic top link on the TPH? you'll wonder why you didn't get one years ago! It is very difficult to install the dual remote on the BX TBL tractor and you have to modify a lot of things on them to do it but the standard tractor is easy-peasy. I don't know why we don't sell more of them!

Look at the Land Pride 3rd function kit for the BX23S. I bought one about a month and a half ago, but still haven't found the time to install it. Messicks had it in stock, and my selling dealer couldn't get one for 8 to 10 weeks from Land Pride, otherwise I would have bought it from them. Looks very easy to install, based on the installation pictures.
