M59 Price I got from my dealer is below:
I know there has been a lot of talk about how much these will cost and I can't argue that it is serious money. Also I can see where the idea that a "real" Backhoe might be a better buy. My thought is I want the 3-point hitch capablity and Kubota will let me pay over 42 months at zero down and zero percent. Not sure you would find that no cost financing elsewhere and certainly not on a used machine.
M59 tlb
hd round back bucket quick coupler front and back
hyd thumb
hood guard
3rd function remote to front
front and rear work lights
3 point hitch kit
list with $1100.00 freight in is $ 58116
I would assume we would sell that for around 55000. I have yet to see all the pricing but thats my best estimate at this time.
I figured it with quick attach 84 " hd round back front bucket and 24 " backhoe bucket with quick coupler
It's 59 HPWilliamBos said:How many HP is it?

It would be a nice tractor especially with all my L39 mods, but it is soooo much money.
Not only is the M59 too much money, Kubota sure does know how to use steel efectively. Too effectively IMHO.
Some other manfacturer will produce a similar dimensioned 65 hp TLB that is 11-12K lbs and way out-spec the M59 AND BE A LOT MORE RUGGED TRUE SMALL CONSTRUCTION MACHINE for the same price. I bet it will have a cab option also.
The 8000 lb M59 is just too light for its size.
Would love to hear what negative impressions you feel are justified.MessickFarmEqu said:Despite some negitive impressions here (some justified), we've been finding alot of interest localy for the M59. We've had a few sold before they even arrived. The first ones have come in, but not gone out yet and are generating alot of attention. So far its been applications that need the capacity, but don't want the weight. Thats really going to the niche for this machine.
