I traded in my Cat 416It and the JD5520 for the M_59 now just need to sell the L35 I like the M 59 it is a good fit between the 416 & the L35

Congratulations on your new tractor purchase. It seems as if you have been quite busy. It feels good to complete projects.:thumbsup:

Nice toys! You have had everything I have wanted!:laughing::laughing:

Nice M59 though, are you just trying to consolidate down to one machine?

Congrat's. Beautiful machine. Is that the L35 I see in the garage in the background? Also, what is that red bar on the loader frame? Never seen that before.

It's a safety lock on the loader so if you raise the loader to work on the engine you lock that on the cylinder so if for some reason your under there and you loose hydraulic pressure while your under the hood you don't get crushed and the bar holds the loader up. Just a safety feature.

Vaughn,

Just some food for thought, but when you sell your L35 how about a cab for the M59? No, I'm not a salesmen but the Laurin Cabs are really nice and with the slew of machines you owned I'm sure you had a cab on one and that is the only thing the M59 really doesn't have. Here's the link:

Thanks, makes sense. Beats me putting a step ladder under my bucket to accomplish the same thing. But, it must be aftermarket not being Kubota orange. :laughing:

Most loaders that use the lock out bar, have a bar of a different color, I asked a dealer one time, he stated it was a safey feature to be of a different color, so you can observe that is is either engaged or not at a glance. I do not know if that is true, but it would make sense if it is.
