What's with price on BX 1880 kit? Is everyone really paying 800.00 to 1000.00 for the kit? I'm looking for a way to add the 3rd function with out braking the bank. Any have any suggestions? What are you guys using to make a kit with parts? Can a different brand or loader kit work? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michael new to tractors. :)

All quality three function kits are expensive.
Price out all the parts individually and I'll bet you'll be real close to what they are asking for the kit.

This is about as good as you can do for a packaged kit.


If the budget is really tight this would get you the valve, joystick handle, and couplers which are the big tIcket items but you would have to do some work and spend some money for the hoses and fittings needed to make it work on a BX. A knowledgeable individual with well equipped shop might save $300. A novice could easily wind up spending more.
