I'm not real sure but from what I've heard all the new models aren't going to hit the dealers until March.

They are being manufactured now and the southern states are getting theirs first. However, my dealer in frigid Vermont will be getting one in late February, other dealers are saying possibly May. I believe mine (big Kubota/NH dealer) was only allotted two machines. Get 'em while you can. I sure would love to have my name on that first one.... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
BTW: I was quoted two relatively close prices in New York and Vermont. One was for $38,000 and the other was for $36,500. Both had: work lights, loader hydraulic ports, quick attach hoe bucket, 18" bucket, rubber street pads, and tool box. The extra loader hydraulics sounds cool......

Saw the new L-39 at the World of Concrete in Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. Only available in GST transmission. No remotes either. The Kubota rep at the show was bombarded with those questions all show long. They will be available on the next re-design.

There is a front remote kit as well as a top and tilt block. They are in the pricing book as well as on the protype model I saw.

I'm glad to hear that front remotes and T&T will be options on the L-39. But I'm new enough to the CUT/TLB worlds to have a few questions (apologies if the answers to these are obvious to everyone else).
1) How would a Top & Tilt block work with a backhoe? The picture of T&T setups that I've looked at here at TBN make is seem like a lot of hardware would have to be removed (along with the 3PH of course) in order to mount the 4-Point-Subframe Backhoe. Is this true, or has Kubota somehow simplified T&T/backhoe compatibility for the L-39?
If the L-39 can really handle both, then wow, what an all around machine she will be!!
2) Anyone know what the flow will be through the front remote on the L-39? I'm very curious/hopeful about hydraulic augers and other skid-steer attachments. Once again, my mind boggles at the possibilities here...
3) Anyone seen what the ground speed will be in the lowest gear of the L-39's GST? I'm curious about this in regards to using the machine for tilling, bedding, and transplanting, so slow will be key...
Thanks for all your insight!

-No need to apolgize. That what TBN is for.

-You will have to remove the arms before you install the backhoe after you use the 3pt hitch. Others can testify that it's not that bad....maybe take a few minutes and some hydro oil on your hands.
"If the L-39 can really handle both, then wow, what an all around machine she will be!!"
-It will handle both with a little bit of work. This is the same with any hoe mouted with T&T. (rear remotes are extra $$)
"Anyone know what the flow will be through the front remote on the L-39? I'm very curious/hopeful about hydraulic augers and other skid-steer attachments. Once again, my mind boggles at the possibilities here..."
-I believe the specs call for 11 gpm for the loader and the backhoe. There is a seperate pump for the power steering, 6.5 gpm and another pump for the boom swing on the hoe, 6.5 gpm. At 11 gpm, it seems some smaller skid steer attachment are going to be usable; not all. Most hydraulic powered implements require about 15gpm. Some research is definitely in order.
"Anyone seen what the ground speed will be in the lowest gear of the L-39's GST? I'm curious about this in regards to using the machine for tilling, bedding, and transplanting, so slow will be key..."
-Check the existing specs on a L3830 with the a 12 speed GST. Rat mentioned that it's likely the same transmission according to his Kubota mechanic that just returned from L39 training.
Indeed she will be fine. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Regarding ground speed for tilling etc......Not only can you control the speed through the transmission, but you can also control the speed with the throttle. Throttle pedals are on the deck of the L39 and you should be able to speed up and slow down based on how much fuel you supply. Although this could affect the speed at which your PTO spins.....Not sure how that relationship works. Maybe you should post another question and ask about the interaction of PTO speed and throttle controlled GTS transmissions.

That's odd. Mine was ordered with front remotes and I can easily add rear remotes later. Not sure what "no remotes" meant from the Kubota rep. It is unclear if the L39 will ever be released with HST (so say the engineers).
