Few here will recommend a subcompact category tractor for use on more than two (2) acres, three acres tops. BUY ENOUGH TRACTOR At least 30 HP, Check out Yanmar/Branson/ Kioti

Considering the same sales book had listed a 2016 SV95-2 with 2,000 hrs. for $56,000, $82,000 for a 2023 seems a good price?? Not buying, just posting.

It will stay out in the elements year-round. Will move it around with forks

Finally made a proper Shooting Bench. Then before I moved bench to my humble range, I leveled an out of whack Scope. You can see level sitting on tractor forks in one photo.

Here was my solution, you will need wheel weights and the backhoe attached, but this will get you half way between a stock L45 and an M62. Upsized Hydraulic Clyinders for Loaders The loader is still fast enough. I do not recommend cranking up the Hydraulic Pressure beyond 3,100 Psi, and even...

I wish the L45/L47L39 family had 43/16-20 minimum 8 Ply rears, with rims that coulds take add on weights. On the front wheels, use the 29/10-16 tires from the M62. Loader should have came factory with 65mm curl cylinders and 60 mm Lift cylinders, to add another 12-15% of loader capacity vs. the...

I prefer #4 buck, 27 .22 balls in each 2 3/4" round sitting of Mossberg 500, with the last couple 00 & being slugs. Plus 10 rounds on good cards outside of Mossberg 500 fitted with sights and weapon light. So not blast your eardrums out, also along side the scattergun, an AR15 with CMMG .22LR...

In my old age a real heated cab would be nice in the winter, but open cab is the other seasons is handy if you are on and off a lot.

At $100K I can see why M62's are selling well.

Great idea as I a smashed a car with the BH.

Ran a quick connect for a trickle charger and a cigarette plug for an electric vest

The true dedicated TLB's are pretty tough. I'd be on my 3rd std Ag. tractor the same size, as I would have killed a lesser machine. This is what I did for a tooth bar on a 6' hd Round bucket from my L39 with cutting edge, then weld on adapters for small excavator teeth for hard soil digging Best...

Scotty, if you have added any weight or mods to the M59, bet it is over 9,000 lbs, hell my L39 is 8,200 Lbs

Would you drive your M59 w/ BH attached forward up a 35-40% slope? How much does the backhoe affect stability? On my L39 I filled the hollow Loader tubes with Durabar adding about 130 lbs midsection. On an M62 having larger tubes, guessing this would add another 200 Lbs. They were set using...

If the L39 is my last tractor, I’ll will be happy with that. Besides, I'm too old to do all those mods over again. I have very much enjoyed using it. I'd be on my 3rd std Ag. tractor the same size, as I would have killed a lesser machine. Why is everyones tractor shinier than mine? I think it...
