I have a M59 with HST auto transmission, what I'm starting to notice is that the forward and reverse seems to be getting sluggish. It hesitates before take off and slowing down, where before it was responsive. What I was wondering does these transmission get air trapped and does it need to...

I have ? in regards to front remotes, I read the M59 front remotes have 16.1 gpm flow rate. I was looking around and come across Blue Diamond Extreme Duty Brush Mower that introduced new technology where the flow rate only has to be 16 gpm, and performs as a high flow unit. Usually all these...

I have a 2012 M59 that I purchased new. The day it was delievered I never really done much on a TLB so I never knew the performance and how the hydraulics were suppose to be strength, speed etc.... I posted a while back questioning my Backhoe boom swinging left to right. It has never been...

My first maintance on my M59 is now completed, but I have a ? on how the engine sounds since the oil change. Before the oil change the start of the engine of course is a bit louder than when it is warm, however now since the oil change the start of the engine struggles to stay started as the...

I have posted on my hydraulics being extremely weak after it gets warm. How hot should the hydraulic cylinder be to the touch? I worked the hoe for about 30 minutes and the cylinder was so hot to the touch I could barely hold my hand on the cylinder. Is this normal?

I was working this past week and I picked up the back end of my Trailer that I haul my M59 on. Its a 14k dual axle trailer. I had to do some welding under my trailer and so I wanted to lift the back of my trailer up off the ground a good bit to install some blocks under it. Before I could...

Had my M59 for little over two months now, and just noticed something I found that I like fairly well. Its the Autothrottle, It can be switched to the ON/OFF position. I'm one to always want the motor to warm first before I take off. So I sit and wait a couple of minutes before I do...

The first time I noticed this issue I didn't think much about it, because I was new to the machine and maybe operator error. I was digging a hole with the hoe and I run the machine just very shortly, just enought so I could plant a tree. I had to literally drive the tractor forward away...

I just received my New M59 about two weeks ago. I have something happen when I started using my Backhoe for the first time. About 10 mins into digging a stump I heard something clank and I look down and I see a threaded cap laying on the ground all new and shiny of course, right under the...

I ordered a M59 on Dec. 30th, It finally arrived today. Seem to me it took forever to get here. It seem to be a nice tractor. My question is the dealer submitted the order through to Kubota they sent the dealer an email back giving a build date and approximate time for completion. So I...

I just ordered a M59 12/30/11, have not took delivery as Kubota rep stated it would be a 4 to 6 week process to build and have one ready. I have come across a couple questions about the weight of the tractor and the trailer. It appears some are saying I will need a CDL license and some are...

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...

I'm the market for a M59 TLB with a Hyd. Thumb, I believe I'm on the band wagon a little to late. These things came out in 08, and several dealers were sitting on them. They didn't move very fast at all, I'm sure because of the price. Several dealers were letting these things go for...
