I'll have to test out adjusting springs or stops, mine hop for sure even with my good fitting Kubota buckets. That wouldn't surprise me. My Fork attachment (and Grapple for that matter) are Titan, chinese import... They lack Qaulity Control, and the Grapple is 1\8" slop on the bottom, I plan...

Good to know that angle isn't unique to my m59. I'll clean up the grinding dust and metal shavings and take another pic, you can see a pretty good spot where the paint is gone from engagement. I do think my grapple engages more than this kubota bucket and will get measurements from that too...

Thanks @rScotty for the detailed reply. The visible line is a score mark I made to highlight current position, as you can tell it's a bit nasty with grinding dust right now :D I'll check if it's level, but this is the Kubota Bucket and so far their attachments have been much better in terms of...

I've had to cut and weld my torque tube a couple times, and I'm thinking my QA is still slightly out of alignment due to engagement I see and before I tweak something again I'm looking for info to make adjustments again, if possible. I've attached an image with a line I put on it which is the...

Correct. Backhoe... and I use it a lot, so much that I've never removed it since I've owned it, and I can't convince myself to get a 3pt chipper knowing I'll need the backhoe at that same time while doing tree work :/ Scratch, and overkill and this will likely be a small 'boom' for the...

Appreciate the detailed the answer. My most recent acquisition is a bandsaw mill... so getting more wood in less time & effort is something I'm investigating too :D and you've painted a picture that's going to keep me going back now to these setups :D :D Jealous of your 700+ acres, we're hoping...

Thanks for the feedback! I too use my bucket and\or fork attachment currently but it's gotten to the point I've ran into situations repeatedly where I have issues and have to rig it up and make it work... which is fine, but at this point I'm thinking I need to save time and be a bit safer :D...

Aside from the issue of my forks being too long, and trailers too heavy to make that a viable option I need to use it for lifting and moving more things than just a trailer.

That was my initial thought and plan, but the fork attachment itself (not the forks) I have isn't exactly the strongest or thickest material and I do move trailers with enough weight that I'm not comfortable using a fork to do that kind of moving as my forks are over 48" too, and I also work in...

Up until now I've used the receiver on my fork attachment but it's got issues... like it's near impossible to remove so when I move pallets my receiver can cause damage to what's on the pallet or not allow me to load that extra 4" which does matter sometimes. I have a spare blank\empty quick...

Curious... if this is for home use why do you need a full-on skidding winch\system? I've been felling on my extremely over grown and dense 20 acres for 10+ years, 5 of them much more than the past.... 100s and 100s of trees 8" to 38" that I cut into 10, 12, 14 pieces but have also moved some...

Thanks everyone! Based on some searching and the price it does seem like using normal wire + scrap steel will do what I need. The replacement cost for some of my buckets don't even exceed $400 😁 I can't see paying $300+ for a 33lb spool. I may end up just grabbing some hard facing rod to use...

Thanks! I wasn't aware of that, good to know. We usually deal with 2-3' for storms with anything over 3' you have to be sure to clear before trying to drive through or you may end up stuck and clawing out with the backhoe 😆 that slight grade becomes a hassle, and then I also risk digging up my...

The tires on my Kubota M59 are chunked pretty severely already from catching edges of stumps and misc stuff I may run across not visible in the snow... By comparison @RjCorazza your tires look brand new. I assume you didn't notice any additional chunking as I don't really see any right now...

More of an I want than an I need to do this :) at this point... but I'd like to get some wire for it. I'd like to add hardfacing to my backhoe buckets as well as for my auger bits. No crazy patterns or 50lbs of weld... more of edge repair and strengthen. What MIG wire is everyone using for...

This last storm where we saw almost 4' and about 3.5' was on top of ice\snow I had a hell of a time making it back up my driveway after plowing and the warm\freeze cycle turned it into an ice rink :D looking to put some chains on the front of my m59 now... I don't want the super aggressive...

Anyone finding this in the future... Kubota front 3rd function on my Kubota M59 the parts diagram shows the CAP on FEL hydraulic as 1\2-14 NPTF (where factory parker QC are hooked up or a CAP) so you can use 1\2 NPT Skid Loader \ Flat Face coupler WITH Teflon tape (rated for hydraulic...

To tag onto this thread as it's 100% on target as I'm wanting to do the same to my Kubota. - Are Kubota 1\2 NPT ? - What about the Summit brand on Amazon? - Some are labeled "pressurized" QC ... are they worth the extra $10\ea? Seems like it if they work as expected.

I'm looking to change my quick couplers to flat face just in case I need rental equipment for something. I also want to change my backhoe thumb to a quick coupler so I can use my auger on the backhoe. Questions: For the FEL coupler and backhoe coupler -- are they the same size? What size...

Good to know, I was looking at getting an 8" and 12". I have a PTO Auger - the bits, and never invested in finishing it out due to it's size relative to my tractor and the time to swap backhoe off to drill some holes :D I hear you about concrete, I'd rather hire too but for deck, small fences \...

Some drive motors can run on as low as 7gpm, they'll be less torque. With the M59 we have approx 15gpm front and rear outputs which supports various augers on the market.

FYI - Messicks wasn't sure if they'd fit or not. They also said some augers\drives are 3-7 months back order right now :/ too

Thanks for the feedback! That looks like a good option. I'll investigate. Do you know if Messicks can tell you by Serial# or? if it will fit your M59? I assume it's the later versions it works with? Looks like under $800 here --> QA Coupler - Excavator buckets

Can you give some back story on the issue \ cause ?

Does anyone have a brand or know where I can buy the plate that quick attach to my kubota backhoe that I can mount a hydraulic auger to? I think I'll also need to convert my hydro-thumb to a quick-attach connector to facilitate switching between thumb usage and auger... favorite place to buy...

I need to pull the trigger on buying an auger + attachment for my Kubota M59 as soon as possible... please help me make the choice on which way to go :D My plan is to have it with quick-attach for the front-end loader, and either build or buy an attachment to swap position and also use on the...

Came here to ask him that too. We use biocide already.

Great info. Luckily cold here would be the teens... so not that cold. I am usually only operating when it's in the 20s-30s for snow clearing anyway, I think the 5w-40 will be great for winter\summer usage for me.

I'll let you know what I notice and update this after I change the oil again before it starts getting colder.... luckily for now mid 40s but even that is noticeable on the kubota oil. Then again I see a lot of threads about the m59 and kubota in general smoking and stumbling the first 4-6...

Great! I look forward to comparing... going to run my Kubota Oil (just changed) for some projects then swap before it gets really cold. Great to hear! I spent hours upon hours reading over a dozen forums from small engines to cummins and motorcycles the T6 5w-40 seems to be used and LOVED in...

Anyone switched from the Kubota Brand oil 15w40 to T6 5w40? I noticed my jugs of kubota 15w40 over the last few years are not identical oil types anymore so I'm not sure what may have changed... but I did notice when it's < 45*F it's noticeably rougher starting. I have T6 5w40 on hand already...

Instead of using a large booster pump (after 3000g water tank) has anyone installed 3+ smaller booster pumps at their destination/connections? Water Tank --1.5" Fitting--> Manifold--> Gravity Pressure -- 1.5" Pipe--> House Pressure Pump --> 3/4" House Connection...

I'm getting ready to order replacement pins and sleeve and a hydraulic cylinder rebuild kit and want to fix my sticky foot pedal while I'm at it. I have no clue what part I need to replace though? The problem: When using the backhoe thumb and foot pedal to operate if I step nearest me on the...

Looking to get an auger for my Kubota m59 to mount on the backhoe... they seem to be rated in torque. What's the max torque I can put on the backhoe of the M59 before I pretzel the backhoe or twist the whole backhoe :laughing: :laughing: The price difference between 2900LB and 6000LB is <$1000...

Where can I find the part # and cost of this part online? retaining bolt came out, and when I dropped the bucket to unload it slipped off, and collided with the attachment are.... :( yes. this pin has no lube, now is a good time to fix the zerk ;)

I started a thread in the Rural Forum about fluid for my new logsplitter. $27 for 5G at TSC. Any reason to spend $$ on synthetic high-end for log splitter? (I run Super UDT/2 in my Kubota, and have a little Super UDT (not 2) left and lots of 2 for my tractor). Debating if it's at all worth...

I recently ordered a: LSED14534 34 Ton Commercial Grade Log Splitter - Swisher What hydraulic fluid would you guys suggest? I have a Kubuta and will be changing fluid, is it not advised to use that fluid even though it's filtered? Any other 'favorite' lube for splitters I should be aware of :D :D

Looking to build a wood splitter and want to do it right, and extra beefy. Looking at acquiring some: w8 x 48 or w10 x 54 Going to pair with a 5x30 cylinder, 28GPM pump, etc... Is everyone buying at scrapyard? Places I'm finding are $500+ for that beam :(

My M59 is equipped with the "Remote Hydraulic Control Valves" pictured: http://www.abcequipment.com/pdf/kubota-tlb-m59-rear.pdf Where can I find specifications for these ports? Trying to figure out how they work exactly so I can determine if I can use them for a Log Splitter ???

I've got two cases of Amsoil grease. The "Off-Road" grease I know I use for the FEL, BH, etc... But is the other grease for the front axle or do I have it for something else? (Sorry! I've been ill for 2 years and haven't used the tractor really until now, and it's time to get her lubed up again!)

Has anyone been able to prevent the condensation in a shipping container simply by using solar ventilation ? How many CFM is needed? 2 weeks ago we had snow, now it's 70* -- one of my containers in the shade is practically raining inside, all metal is wet not just the walls/roof... a roll of...

I plan to make a log splitter utilizing the front outputs on my Kubota M59 by utilizing this cylinder, and making an extension to the electronics on my joy stick to operate it. I`m wondering if I need to add an aux. hydraulic tank for additional fluid or if my tractor has enough :confused...

So I can easily find Made in USA chain. However, finding Chain hooks made in the USA has proven difficult. Anyone know of a company still manufacturing chain hooks in the USA ? Also, where is everyone getting their chain from for the best price (made in usa) ??

Anyone have a chart that will show the following: RPM - Front Aux GPM - Front Aux Pressure ### ### ### Just curious :D

We recently acquired a porter cable construction class generator with a Honda 13HP engine in it. We plan to use it on our property throughout the year with temperatures ranging from well below freezing in winter, to around 100 in summer. The manual calls for 10w30 but we don't use 10w30 in...

time to change my kubots oil. recommendations from tractor oil gods?? :D

I can't seem to locate my tractor manual (well the part I need)... Those with a M59 what is the amount of hydraulic fluid it requires? Thanks!

What's everyone paying for Super UDT? Local place wants $69 + Tax for 2.5g which seems ridiculous. They don't stock 5g, or 50g drums either... I`m thinking I can get much better rates ordering it even with shipping!! So... What's everyone paying for Super UDT? 2.5g - ? 5.0g - ? 50g - ? Trying...

Stopped by Autozone to get some grease and here are my options. Valvoline.com > Products > Grease Gear Oil > Grease > DuraBlend® Synthetic Blend Grease Green Grease....The Best Grease Money Can Buy!....Just ask anyone who has used it!..... For lubing FEL, and BH. What does everyone think?

I haven't been able to figure out what is up with my backup beeper. I start her up, warm up and drive away.. no beeping. I then backup, and the beeping starts. I then go forward and the beeping starts. Going backwards/forward no matter what the beeping continues. Only way to stop it was to...

With the backhoe extended almost all the way about like --- how much weight can it lift w/out curling? Talking about going UP. :D

Looking to expand or completely re-do my wood sheds... Looking for ideas :D Post up pictures please :thumbsup:

I`m looking for a snow plow to stick on the front of my M 5 9 tractor. I'd like one to go on the FEL quick attachment not the bucket. Where to look? Who makes them? Can my tractor push an 84" plow up hill/gravel road?

Anyone rent a cargo container? Looking to see what standard rates are monthly for a 20' and a 40' :confused: Did you have to pay a delivery fee too? I`m trying to work out a deal for a 40' to buy, if that fails then I`ll want to rent one with hopefully option to buy it. Need to clear up...

Well my M59 from Barlow's arrived :thumbsup: this week. Definitely a step up from the 40hp rental I was used to :D the breakout strength of the FEL and BH were noticeable improvements and will drastically increase productivity! The dirt/clay/dust we have here is TERRIBLE, sure hope the...

EDIT: Got it :thumbsup:

What's a running international TD6 worth? and how hard are parts? cost of parts? -No restoration. -Looks like home made dozer blade with hydro (works). -Running condition, possible clutch slipping. Also, what is their gross weight?

What's everyone's thought on Amsoil GHD (HD Grease) ? AMSOIL - Synthetic Heavy-Duty Grease (GHD) Is there something better (similar cost or less) for FEL/BH and general use on tractor and other things requiring grease ?? I prefer to spend more for quality, but don't want to pay more if I don't...

Anyone have a M59 owner manual in .PDF or .DOC format? :D

Looking at getting this grease gun anyone have any experience with it ?

Is it best to use the RPM that gets the job done or up the RPMS for all work? Just curious what everyone does to determine the correct RPM for their HST tractor.

What is the best way to determine the electrical requirement of the tractor "as is", and then figure out how much more you can add to it w/out utilizing alternator 100% or more, and draining the battery, and potentially ruining the alternator. Looking to add some work lights, and maybe a CB...

Looking to replace my old, loose, binder's and get some new chain. Suggestions? Can I get binders NOT made in china anymore? What about chain? What manufacture is considered top quality? Is everyone using 3/8 for their tractors/loads :confused:

Looking for some quality chain for moving logs, disabled vehicles, steel pipes, and just general chain usage etc. (not for binders) I see the same labeled chain go for different amounts at harbor freight, northern tools, tractor supply, etc.. How the heck do we know what's good quality stuff...

Between different models, new, and used, I`m now curious what a used Kubota M59 would go for. 250 hours standard features + 84 inch bucket, backhoe thumb, 30 inch bucket, the rear remote valves, air cleaner and a 3 point hitch. No other implements or additional features. Anything specific to...

I've rented the TC35D, and it gets the job done but not efficiently, and makes me smack my head sometimes. I need something relatively the same size to fit on my roads in the woods, I have some room to play here, but would prefer to stay as close to this size as possible. My purposes/usages...

Hi Everyone, we have approx. 20 acres of heavily wooded land with elevation change of maximum about 85-100 ft. Probably 3-5 acres of cleared land that's relatively flat where all my work has been done at, and an area between our mountains where the pond work has started. (And hopefully another...

Hi All, new to the forum. I've been renting a New Holland TC35D w/Loader & Backhoe, and have started my search for owning my own tractor.
