Third function valve kit

I picked up my Kubota manufactured 3rd function valve kit Wednesday September 30th.
Looking over the kit I see powder coated brackets, to mount quick couplers on loader cross member, and to mount hard lines to inside loader arm. The actual valve is very heavy and both the valve and electronic servo unit look absolutely first rate. There is a completely new joystick with switch buttons in it. It all appears to be first rate.
I will be installing the system soon. Updates coming. Stay tuned...

The main hydraulic hose must be removed before you can install 3rd function valve from under the tractor. The hose is removed and no longer needed.

3rd function kit

Apparently the electronic servo looking unit was shown to me by dealer on his tractor only. His 3rd function was a Land Pride. I guess my brain remembered that image and thought it was in my kit.  To be clear, there is no servo looking unit in my kit. I'm guessing some type of controller is already on board. There are wiring harnesses and other assorted wires terminated in clip fasteners. Also, the new joystick loader controller with 3rd function buttons has the wires neatly tucked inside the joystick. I haven't seen that on any other 3rd function system. I will add that the entire kit looks complicated to install.
