Had a Hydraulic leak under the M59. Was a manifold that feeds one of the backhoe ports and (I think the extra power ports on the loader) Well, anyway come to find out Kubota had put Pipe fittings in a British Manifold threads. I took the right tire & fender off to get to it and then took the part to my hydraulic shop and they determined the problem, My Dealer said Kubota wanted $600. for the part. I have less than 400 hrs. on the M59 and have had many problems, I'm not impressed with Kubota quality. I have over 7K hrs on John Deere tractor's and have never had the quality problems that I've had with this Kubota. I just bought a JD 5085M from my local dealer that also sells Kubota's and they told me they don't want to sell the M59.
