kubota m59

I'm getting 2x2x6 interlocking concrete blocks delivered for a short (4') retaining wall project, and was told they are 3\4 yard and approx weight of 2700lbs. Has anyone who's gotten these lifted them and stacked 1 on top the other with a Kubota M59 FEL? My plan would be to use a blank 1\2" QA...

What's the best safest way to loosen the seized blade bolts on these machines? Thanks

I recently acquired a woods rm59 rear mower and wondering about the use of or need to use check chains. I am able to reliably control height with hydraulics. Anyone have experience with this attachment and willing to share regarding setup ? Sandy

Gathering materials to improve the pads. 2.5X more area. 4X heavier, 82#. 5.5” longer to the outside. 6” taller on rubber pads. Hopefully kinder on hard surfaces and lawn. OEM rubber pads engages 1.5” before steel cheats on soft or steep ground. In paint shop. Paint cost and much as the...

M59 backhoe attachment came with a 24” pin on bucket with hydraulic thumb. Looked for years to find a 12” bucket used. Kubota QA buckets are a little more common but still rare and have to buy $1,000 adapter. New M62s and L47s have three options. Pin on. Kubota M59 type QA or Kubota excavator...

Bliss! If anyone else is sick of their crappy OEM Kubota seats with no suspension I've found a relatively painless upgrade that will work for your M59/M62 I took the plunge and ordered the Kubota "L6026" air suspension seat made for the L6060 cab tractor and found that it fits with very little...

Good evening! I am new to this forum or any type of forum for that matter. A little out of my element but I hope someone has had the same issue and can help me out. I have a Kubota M59 TLB and just overnight the steering is hard just like no power steering. I lift the wheels off the ground and...

Anyone know how to remove the flat deck on a M59? I need to replace a hydraulic tube that runs from under the seat, under the flat deck to the right hand side of the motor. I was hoping the flat deck came apart in puzzle pieces but I've taken out every bolt and nothing is moving. There are four...

I bought a used M59 a few months back that is in great condition, but I had not noticed until a few months of ownership that there was some damage to the right backhoe stabilizer leg. The pin that holds the upper portion of the cylinder for the leg appears to be broken. As you can see in the...

I have a 2008 Kubota M59 with the V2403-M-TE3-TLB1 engine. I live in MI and would like to add a block heater to my recently acquired TLB but could use some advice on which route to go. I know the OEM block heater installs in a freeze plug but what I cannot get clarity on is if the freeze plug...

Does anyone know a part number to the 3 point hitch kit or have a link to one that works on the backhoe framed tractor?

Thanks for the add. Just purchased a 2008 Kubota m59

Has anyone here looked at swapping/modifying the aux. manual hydraulic control valve to electric solenoid operation to replace the foot lever? And before I start opening things up does anyone know what kind of valve body Kubota uses if I can match up to an aftermarket valve?

Ive been looking for a cheap RFM and I found this. It needs an idler bearing which Ive ordered. I have a three point hookup to replace the quick hitch in it. Not for my lawn but for some areas that I want looking better than the bush hog does and is a little rough for the lawn tractor.

my M59 (292 hours) stopped having any power to swing the backhoe side to side. I replaced hydraulic filters and the fluid. No change in operation. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Where should I start with trouble shooting? I'm 75 miles to the dealer so this is a PITA!

Have an M59. Wiring under floorboard not correctly installed from a previous repair. I have repaired the loom in a few places reinstalled it. Could someone get a picture of the routing. Looking left to right seems to be the best angle. Would be greatly appreciated.

This thing is a beast. Handles the stumps, rocks and mud of Northern Ontario. Pushes trees over with ease......:thumbsup::D

Hi all, I have had a Kubota M59 for a couple of years now and have benefited from the experience of others, especially those that post on forums like this. I thought I would share my experience so that others can benefit as well. Here's a start: Common Problem #1: M59 Slow swing speed of...

Well I decided to get a Kubota M59. Traded in my last tractor. Nough said. I thought I had better start talking with some other M59 owners on TBN and see what I can learn. It’s also time to read the manual. LOL As part of the purchase deal I had them install auxiliary hydraulics up front and...

I've read multiple people mention running a snowblower off the aux hydraulics on the M59's loader, but have not seen anyone who actually did it. Anyone actually done it?

Has any one else had these types of issues and if so, how were they corrected? I have 2 Kubota M59’s with HST. Both have had the same issue. For some unknown reason, the tractors used to start by solely engaging the clutch. Now, that is no longer even required. When trying to start, the dash...

I was moving snow with my M59 TLB and the engine shutoff by itself. When I tried to restart there was no power, no light, no screen display. I have checked all the fuses, including the larger ones and they are fine. The battery is fine and the terminals tight. PTO is off, the killswitch...

Hi everyone. I just picked up a Woods RM59 finish mower, and it is currently set up as a side discharge. Looking at some searches online for the RM59, it appears that there are some folks that are blocking the side chute, and opening up two holes near the rear wheels to make it a rear discharge...

How much force should be needed to get the backhoe unhooked? I'm pulling back pretty hard on 180 in the picture, but 070 isn't lifting at all, and I'm wondering if that's normal or I'm misunderstanding the mechanism.

Hi All. I'm looking at getting a 3 point finishing mower for my Kubota B7100. I found a great deal on a good Woods RM59, and I saw that the front shaft needs to be a certain length for a Kubota tractor (or any other smaller tractor). The seller of the mower said that it was used on an...

Hi folks, Long time no talk, been working. I was ditching our road (yeah the county should do it but they don't) and when I do that I put the flashers on and the front and rear work light so I'm less likely to get hit. After about 2-3 hours of work the machine shut off. I had the console...

For anyone interested in adding a cab to their M59/M62 I've just written a blog on my experience adding a Laurin-Inc Eclipse cab to my M59. You can view the blog and photos at Divergent Stuff – Random stuff that fits together somehow… IMHO the Eclipse cab is the closest thing to getting a...

Hi all, Haven't posted in a while but wanted to tell you all about my recent seat time. Someone texted me out of the blue and said "I hear you do tractor work, want some?" I was a little taken aback because the only work I've done is for myself and my neighbors. The non-personal stuff has...

I bought 2013 M59 with 130 hours on it. Startup stumble and smoke was pronounced in Colorado at 8000'. Service manager suggested new injectors could be required. This didn't sound good to my ears. When I hauled it to Kansas last month, I stopped in Pueblo to demonstrate a cold start at the...

Went to the dealer today to pick it up and noticed the installation sheet said the hydraulic pump needs to be removed. This is nearly a no-go for me. Is is possible to work it in to the freeze plug hole without removing the pump?

I am needing a M59 Kubota with backhoe and loader. Would be great if it had 4-way bucket and thumb. Please contact me if you have one to sell. rogerdcain@gmail.com

I don't have my manual on me. I thought I had to tilt the seat forward to engage the PTO on the M 59. That isn't working. So either I am doing something wrong or an OPC sensor or somesuch is corroded . could someone check the manual and let me know for troubleshooting purposes? Thanks.

Dealer sold me a 74" Kubota/Land Pride RG3704 for my Kubota M59 TLB. I have not used it yet and can return it if necessary. It looks heavy, and I have searched unsuccessfully for the weight of the stock 84" front loader bucket and the weight of the RG3074. Any guidance to find the weight of...

I recently bought a Woods RM59 finish mower. It has four wheels, and the two front wheels are mounted on arms that point outwards toward the sides of the mower. In that orientation, the front wheels of the mower bump up against the rear tires of the tractor. In fact, there is not enough...

Really interested in a Kubota M59. Anyone considering parting ways or wanting to part ways with this model, i am very interested in finding one. So if you are please PM me and we can chat about it. Thanks B

Hi all, I've had a M59 pop out of gear on me twice. Once in high, once in medium. Both times going down a hill. After the first time I'm very careful about being in gear, when I shift I check the lever and make sure it is in place and I go forwards and backwards to see if it pops out. I've got...

Hi, long time no talk, I've been out using my tractors :) This is a repost from parts/repairs, I posted in the wrong place. I put my grapple (WR Long, *love* that thing) on a couple of days ago, it worked fine for about 5 minutes and then went kaput. In fact the whole tractor hydraulic system...

Hi, long time no talk, I've been out using my tractors :) I put my grapple (WR Long, *love* that thing) on a couple of days ago, it worked fine for about 5 minutes and then went kaput. In fact the whole tractor hydraulic system went haywire. It feels like the return part of the circuit is...

Having trouble with the Thumb relief valve. Took it to a Hydraulic shop, they took it a part and a plunger pin has a chip in the washer part that allows the spring too pass over the washer after time. The part is probably a 50 cent part and Kubota wants $145. for the relief valve. Any way of...

Looking at buying one. It is used with less than 50hrs. I know the current owner and has has seen very light use. Still has paint on buckets. Not sure what year it is probably 3-4 years old. Questions are how do these machines hold up? How do they stack up size wise/capability wise to what...

Hi all, Me and my mechanic recently went through all 3 of my tractors (B21, M59, KX-161-3SS) and did fluids and filters. Somehow we screwed up the M59. Here are the symptoms: a) It has a position control valve and after the service the arms don't start going up until you are at 7-8, they...

Looking for tlb tractor with backhoe . Good condition. Reasonable and decent hours on it and can pick up. Gph3142@gmail.com northeast ft Thx and please no junk

Hi, Maybe a bit strange question, but I have no idea how big the M59 is. Compared to my m7040. Anyone have any pictures showing sizes diffrent? How many kilos or ton does the M59 weigh? Thx! /Sam

I have interest in wider BH buckets, with and without teeth, than existing 24" pin on. Is the M59 BH pin layout unique to Kubota or is the pin layout a standard and buckets for other machines/ other brands fit? Does quick attach, Kubota or aftermarket QA, increase the pool of available BH...

Hello, I hit a stump today and broke a spindle on my RM59. I need some guidance on removal of the sheave(pulley) from the spindle assembly. I've removed the two screws from the top of the spindle assembly and tried driving the spindle from the top. It has moved somewhat thru the top of the...

Hi All, Got to play on my M59 today! We'll pleased with maneuverability and HST transmission is so nice. Gonna work the backhoe this weekend and try not to look stupid doing it. I have a 16" bucket to put on the backhoe. I have a 24" on it now. It is a quick attach setup but not sure what the...

I have not received my M59 yet. I would like to here from current owners about detaching the backhoe. What is the best procedure?

I got the front and rear hydraulic valves, thumb, 16"&24" quick attach buckets. List price 69,801 getting it for 60k. Is that a good discount?

I removed the roll pin on the drive shaft yoke at the mower, but the yoke won't budge. I need to have the driveshaft shortened. Any ideas on how to pull the driveshaft? Just spoke to a tractor shop and was told some Woods RM59s were made to run backwards on a Kubota 6000 and have the 1"...

Cost effective garage for any tractor...that fits, and my M59 just barely fits; 27' Pup Trailer. All total about $1500 invested

I have a 2010 Kubota M59 with backhoe and am looking at getting some attachments given I have hydraulics to the front end loader. By the specs, the flow rate is 16.1. Any advice if I want to get 1) a rock grapple bucket 2) an auger 3) a front end brush cutter

Can I use the front auxiliary hookups to power angle my western plow? Or do I need a diverted or flow control valve(s)....

Hi folks, A couple of weeks ago I found out that the boom cylinder on my backhoe was defective. Previously I noticed that my backhoe couldn't fold all the way back to lock, leaving about 2 inches before it could bottom out. I took the cylinder off and brought it to my local dealer. Apparently...

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

Yesterday I purchased a very low hour (30) M59. I think I've read nearly every M59 post on this site before pulling the trigger. THis is a great resource!. I should take delivery in about a week...pictures to follow:thumbsup:

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...

Hello. I joined when purchasing my M59. I no longer have work for it and need to get rid of the payments. It is a 2009 with hyd thumb, aux front hydrolics, 7' and 24" buckets. 220 hrs in great cond. It comes with a 20' 7 ton loadtrail trailer and brush hog 172SQ. I also have forks. If anyyone is...

It probably won't be until next spring before I get anything but I need some advise. I've owned Deere tractors all my life and have a great relationship with the dealer, no grudge against Kubota but the local dealer wasn't the best so I've I wouldn't be as interested in a L45 and would prefer...

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...

I recently purchased a woods rear mount finish mower, an older model of course and I was wondering what the chains are used for, along with the 3 point hookup? Can anyone tell me? Thanks

According to my manual I am suppose to change the engine filter, engine oil, transmission filter, and hydraulic filters (2) at 50 hours. Since I had read on other posts that the 50 hour service was so expensive partially due to the replacement of all the filters, the engine oil, and the...

I am due to take delivery of my BX25 later this week. One of the implements that I have from an older tractor is a Woods RM59 finish mower. Will the BX25 be able to mow with it? The specs for the mower say that it is 60" mower that weighs almost 400 lbs. It is a finish type mower and I had...

hi I am looking to buy a breaker for my m59. Im hoping a gorillia (ghb60) will work with it? The hammer is asking for 6-13 gpm and Kubota specs indicate 16.2. I am being told the auxillary valve on the backhoe is bi-directional. I can't seem to find it, or find out if the flow can be...

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!

new 08 has been sitting on dealers lot and sold it to me for 39250. front hydraulics which I will never use. I let my 2000 580l with only 1470hr on it go for $22k. Thats a hard one. But I have a plumbing company and plumb over a hundred houses a year. Up until the housing crash all my work was...

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

Our M59 machine maintenance is an ongoing effort. I like to turn the wrenches myself and tend to do a little bit each time I get around to it - with the result that a service can stretch over a period of 50 or more machine hours. That's OK; my service schedule is a bit more conservative than...

I have a question about implements for my M59 which obviously has 59 hp. I was looking to get a brush hog and post hole digger. I see people selling used ones all the time, but they usually for a tractor with a hp of less than 59 like 20 - 40 hp. Can I use they types of implements or am I...

Does anyone here know what the flow rate of each hydraulic pump on the M59 is? The specification on the Kubota web site just lumps all three pumps together as 26.7 gpm. I am particularly interested in the main and swing pump volumes. Thanks in advance.

Have to change a hose on my rockhound, and while messing around on rockhound's site found this http://www.rockhound.com/09%2030EXHD.pdf The 30exhd flail mower mounts via quick attach instead of the bucket, and runs off thumb hydraulics it looks. Totally cool. I guess it would be a substitute...

Hi Guys, Newbie here with a few pics of my new M59 (complete with anti-theft device!). Overall I'm really happy about right now! I already used it to dig up a nasty stump that has plagued my driveway for the last year, and used the thumb to move a nice sized boulder..very nice. One...

Sold the 5240 and delivered for the gentleman out in Katy. My local dealer did a great job and beat all other prices I had found so we had a deal. I did not get to use the new machine for a couple of days. When I did around to using it I had to move an 18"x 6' concrete culvert, I got off to...

greetings. I design and install septic systems. I have for years used a full size TLB. Now I am thinking about downsizing it, because it is a little big for a lot of the backyards I get into, and its too heavy for a number of reasons. I have two options I am considering. I have demoed a Ditch...

The new M59 arrived last week just in time for some rain in AZ. I pulled the backhoe off and hooked up the top-n-tilt and box blade and made short work of a very rough driveway. So far after just a few hours in the seat I am very impressed with this tractor. The only thing I don't like so far is...

Monday, I am taking delivery of a new M59 backhoe (trading my L39). My wilderness ranch is located in very rugged desert mountains. The only "road" (make it a trail) in and out is off road with rock, boulders and a little dirt. For lesser summer rain wash outs, I'd like to grade it with the...

Anyone use a power rake mounted on the front end? Take one for a skid steer and mount it on the loader? Or would that not be a good ideal? Looking at one of the above TLB's for next spring. And the equipment for it also. That is if Kubota comes out with a cab on the M59 or just buy a L48 and...

I love it. (I know, highly unusual with a new tractor... ) Messicks just delivered it on Wednesday. Great operators station, though their could be more room for my knees when I spin. Backhoe is really strong - pushed over some 40' 5" diameter trees to check it out. Got the hydro thumb -...

Anyone plan on adding one of these to there M59? Laurin inc. They have one for it and looks good. Was pricing a L48 and the M59 and asked the dealer if he thought the Kubota would be coming out with a cab of this unit. And he gave me this link. Just wondering if it still works right with the...

Finally did it, and pulled the trigger on a new M59 with top-n-tilt and hydraulic thumb. I am so excited to move dirt I can't sit still. Bought it from Neil Messicks on here. Won't see it for three weeks though :(

well..it arrived today..and all I can say is wow..I am throughly impressed..I havent dug with it or anything YET..but its amazing how much nicer it is the our L48. The thumb attachment I can see as being very handy, the creep mode is awesome flat deck is cool the hydrostatic is a major...

My dealer recieved his first M59 last week, with no back hoe. So I drove there and gave it a good look over. WOW! This is a very, very, nice machine. The best way to describe it is it's an L39 on steroids! It's almost an EXACT copy of the L39 with a few differences. The front axle looks to be...

Spring has gotten me motivated to get my RM59 back together. This morning I pressed the 3 spindles/bearings/seals back together and noticed something I wish I had caught during the disassembly phase: The spindles aren't the same. Here's the belt routing diagram for reference: The three...

Any one care to comment on pros and cons on thier 110 TLB.

I went by the dealer and picked up some parts for my B26 that were missing upon delivery and found the mighty M59 looking so nice. I took a bunch of pictures for all to see. Enjoy!

Here is a link i just found to the New Kubota M59. it the first pictures i seen of it , with specs. for those that are intrested. Looks like a bigger L39 with all same options a L39 has. a little to big for my needs. but looks like its going to be a beast. it claims to have a hard nose slanted...

I am looking for the size of the belt for the RM59, any info?

i found two rm59 rmfinish mowers. asking price is 250 each is that a good price. they both need a belt and one has a frozen spindle. they both are otherwise in fair shape just rusty from sitting outside thier whole lives. is this a fair price for these mowers? thanks for looking

My local dealer has a used Woods RM59 3pt. mower. 59" cut, side discharge, with a vertical belt drive instead of a gearbox. He says that rear mowers used to be made that way and there is no performance difference compared to a gear driven unit, and that Woods still builds them. Aside from faded...

Just picked up a rm59. It is a bit rough but usable. Does anybody have one? Are these worth fixing up? The wheel shafts are totally wobbled out. Otherwise except for paint in very usable condition. A new belt was installed a couple of years ago. I have heard these will last a live time...
