How big is a kubota M59?

[samofsweden]

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!

Thanks for your help.
I think I didnt explain my self very well...please pics of a M59 beside a M7040 would been great
I read all the information about the M59.
The backhoe of the M59, compared to a 360 digger, how big? Like a 3ton, 4,5 or 6,5 ton 360 digger?
(The backhoe of my bx24 is equal with a 1ton digger)

Thx

I don't have the pics you require but I think you will find the M59 is comparable to a 4 to 4.5 ton digger.

What a good idea! I don't have any pictures showing the M59 and the JD310SG in the same shot, but when some of the snow melts off I'll take some. The JD310SG is the standard yellow tractor/loader/backhoe that one sees on most every construction site in the world. 100HP, cab, and about 14000 lbs. The M59 is less commonly known and is 60 hp, open platform, and right at 8500 pounds. We've had both machines long enough to be able to make some comparisons - but a photo of both side by side would sure cover the intangibles.

I have one of each, well, close. See my avatar and signature. (Note: The M59 and L48 are almost identical in size.)

rScotty, very kind, looking forward to these pics!!
Im trying to get a picture of the m59, what kind of work its designed for.
Im getting the feeling its a bit smaller than my m7040, and maybe to small for me.
