Summit 3rd Function Kit Applicability to L3130?

[BT3101]

All,

Last week I posted pics of the Titan grapple bucket (48" w/3000 psi cylinder) I just purchased. This week I want to get the hydraulics ordered. I have virtually no experience with this type of decision.

The Summit kit linked below lists most of the current models in the same HP class as my 2006 L3130. I called them to confirm the kit would work for my tractor and the customer support person said "its not on my list... if it doesn't fit, you'll need to pay for return shipping and restocking". Gee, thanks.

The owner's manual for my tractor says the pump puts out 8.3 gpm and 2560 max PSI. These are below the numbers shown in the kit info. Other than maybe fitting sizes, anyone see any reason I can't use this one? Anyone have what they think is a better option?

I'm resisting the urge to buy the Amazon kit that shows the exact same pic and specs for almost exactly 50% the cost of this kit.

What’s the Amazon kit?

The summit kit will more than likely work, fittings are really the only thing that could change. I put the summit kits on two separate tractors not listed in their specs. LX2610 and MX6000 both were fine.

The issue of it fitting or not is going to come down to the small lines, they might not match what you need on the L3130 valve, but would be as simple as adding a couple adapters to make it work.

The valves and everything else will work fine for what you want and need.

This one. It looks like the exact same components, but of course it's going to be made in China.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll update this thread after the fact so anyone searching in the future will hopefully find the information.
