Read articles →This is a hands-on, self-taught DIY install of a Land Pride third function valve kit on an MX5400 with LA1065 loader, not a review or walkaround. It covers removing the loader, disconnecting the control valve, swapping hoses and fittings (metric vs standard, JIC flare torque tips), wiring the solenoids, and testing the electrical connection. It stops short of an actual grapple/attachment test since none was available yet. Best for owners planning the same install who want fitting-level detail.

No, Kubota does not have an OEM specific third function valve for this machine, but Land Pride makes a compatible one for the MX5400 and 6000 series.
No, JIC 37-degree flare fittings require no sealant or Teflon tape, just a little hydraulic oil on the threads to let them spin on easier.
You need both metric and standard wrenches since the kit fittings are standard but factory fittings are metric, including 22mm and 19mm backups.
Look for a stub on the main wiring harness with white tape on it, which indicates the correct connector to route and plug in.
