Kubota M59

[buck1974]

Wanting to purchase a new M59 with Hyd Thumb, any Dealers want to throw some prices back at me? Does any one know of a dealership that has one in stock? They are becoming more and more scarce to see on the lots, as dealers aren't wanting to gamble on having that on hand due to the cost. Picking one up is as close as me saying that price will work for me, and time enough for the paperwork to be done. I have researched this tractor for about a year now. I still can't seem to look at anything else, I go back to this time and time again.

Where you live is a big part of this. I'm in Michigan but won't help you much if your in California. I would go sit on some similar sized CUTs as it will be hard to find a M59. M59 is truly the best in its class if you want a large TLB/CUT mix it's your best and only option. They are pricey but good machines. Wish some other company's like Deere would make a comparable just for some competition but right now the best comparable is the JCB MIDI which is only 50HP and only 25 PTO HP which is absolutely ridiculous. 25 PTO HP is basically useless. Unless you don't use the PTO the JCB is a no buy.

Are you fairly set in stone on the M59 or are you still looking at different options? If you want a cab a Laurin is really nice. I consider myself mainly a Deere guy because of my local Kubota dealer not being great but if I wanted this size TLB I would definitely have a M59

Since you didnt fill out your profile or give us any indication of where you're located,I dont know if this will help or not.....but,there is a new M59 at the dealer in Henderson Texas as well as one in Alba Texas.

Really? We have 3.

Yeah, but you are a bigger dealership with lots of $$$$. The last time I was by my local Kubota dealership, they also had an M59.

I am not really much of a Kubota guy, a lot to do with the local dealer I guess. But hands down if this is the size a person needs, from what I have seen it is an absolutely great machine . Really the only question would be is what options do you get? :confused3: Me, I would get them all.

They don't have too, if you want a bigger deere then a 110 , most people around are area get a industral john deere 310E for there backyard. which weigh about 15000 lbs. Ok so they have 4000 hours on them. You can get them for half the price too. If i had a big farm, i won't have my small compact.

Dont want to hijack this thread, but on what tractor is the M59 based on?
M series? Which?

Its really not the same though. I'm in this situation right now. I bought land up north. All wooded but I want to leave a lot of the trees. I definitely feel like a 110 could do the job but would rather have an M59 size. I would get the M59 but they are such a new model that the used models haven't came down in price enough and I can't afford the price of a nice M59 to a nice used 110.

Here's some more M59's though:

I'm not as much of a Kubota guy as Deere guy so I can't tell you for sure but I think it's more off of the Grand L5740 b/c it has the hydrostatic and all which I don't believe the M has which makes me wonder why they don't call it an L59?? Not positive though

Sorry, I forgot to put where I'm located. I'm located in Smiths, Alabama just outside of Phenix City. I'm willing to drive a considerable distance if price was right. I have seen them as low at $38k, if they have been on the lot a while. A couple of dealers so far, is $48k all are in line with this price. However I know two years ago cost was $38k, because that was revealed when I just missed that deal.

Are you talking new or used?? I can see a used one for that price but the BASE list price is $55k and to find a new one for $38k would be about a 30% drop. Now of we're talking used that makes sense.

 

[buck1974]

No actually this was new, I understand that this is extremely low for this tractor. This one was an 08, 0 hours, and they were wanting to rid of the tractor. The dealership told me that it was just cost and not a penny more they sold it for. Of course I was too late, however it was listed on Equipment trader.com. They actually have one now in Missouri 2010 for $43,900 minus the hyd Thumb. No I'm wanting a new tractor, I do not want used as I will have to do some financing and will want to take advantage of the rebates and the 0% they offer.

Makes sense for financing. And wow was that ever a good deal on an M59! I too have been looking for a compact TLB and saw that Missouri tractor but I'm leaning more in the way of a 110 just for price.

Good luck on a new tractor. Really want an M59 as well but not sure the budget will allow.

I think the accelerated depreciation under section 179 is better if the equipment is put in service this year as opposed to 2012.

Just saw this post under the general buying and pricing forum. Not a lot of details but he does mention the 3rd function remotes for the FEL.

I can understand your wanting to buy new. That's what we did. Actually my wife made me do it.....and that's another story.

But I think you are wasting your time and just courting frustration by basing your search on one weird sale that happened years ago. Sure there was a quick period when dealers were hurting and a guy in the right place and right time all ready to pull the trigger might have save 20%. But not 30%. That is a mite fishy. The tractor market is more stable than that. I've followed it 50 years and it is normally super stable. Dealers are knowledgeable about shipping and that keeps things stable too.

In my opinion a good price on a new M59 now would be $50K - hopefully less. But what would really make for a screaming deal would be to get that price along with the package that Kubota offered when the model first came out. That package included: 0% financing, extended warranty, the extra lightning kit, two BH buckets, the front remotes, the hydraulic thumb, and all the three point accessory hardware.

That's a good place to start a haggle to include things that cost an owner more than they cost a dealership - things like used front and rear implements, manuals, recommended service at 50 and 200 hrs, accessories...maybe that set of wheel weights I forgot to include are still sitting there in the mud....
good luck, it's a nice tractor

Been shoping around for the past few months for either a L45 or M59. Want a M59, but only need a L45. So far, the best price I been quoted for an M59 is $47,450 without any of the aforementioned "extras" and around $51,000 with all the goodies. Bad thing, none of the dealers offering best quotes are within delivery distance and it costs at least $2/mile and a dock to get it to the house ($800-1200 extra) which kind of equalizes the field for the local dealers. L45's seem to running about $10,000 less with comparable features.

Hope this helps.

Just did it, signed for a M59 TLB today, It wasn't for the price I was hoping for. However, it was the cheapest I could find anywhere, and it was within 25 mile of where I live. I guess you can't beat that at all. I called various dealers within three different states. I was fortunate enough to have a dealer within 25 miles to be the cheapest of all of them. I was told it will be a 4 to 6 weeks waiting period, it had to be ordered and built at the factory. If that be the case will it still be a 2011 model if built in January of 2012? I got a M59 TLB with 84" heavyduty front bucket with the bolt on cutting edge. The hoe w/Hyd Thumb for $49,998 out the door. However I did choose the Kubota insurance as my insurance company as that was not included in the price, it was on top of that. My insurance company would never would call me back, and after reading reviews Kubota ins. is not that bad of a deal I suppose. I know homeowners will pay for theft if its at home, but it was so many guide lines and hoops they have included with that, I wonder if it would be difficult to actually obtain if something really happeded. I was told the insurance rate from Kubota was based off the price of the tractor, which come to be $41.00 a month. Does that sound about right for that? Does all this sound about right, as this is my first new tractor I have purchased.
