M59 vs L45 TLB

[Tractordawg]

The loaders do not come off any of Kubota's TLB's B26,L39 & 45, M59.

I don't think I would want to remove the fel with the backhoe attached. I don't have either but once you move into the heavy duty backhoes there's quite a bit of weight in the back. With out the fel you would need to add weight or have a real light front.

TRUE - also the hoe would end up dragging you all over the place. With my little rig I fill my FEL with heavy stuff, or the hoe yanks it all around, even though I've like 7 suitcase weights on the front. Now maybe if you put on pallet forks and a '57 Chevy?

my goal for brushoggin would be loader and hoe off , brushog on with some weight upfront, I know better than to try to dig with the hoe without the loader bucket on the ground.

You can remove the front bucket, but not the loader arms. The loader arms are mounted directly to the frame, which gives the loader lots of support.

I sometimes drop the bucket on my 59 when running the flail mower to get a little better maneuverability. They're really not in the way when you drop the bucket.

When grading the road I use to remove the FEL so I needed less room in front of the tractor to turn around. Now I just remove the bucket as it's very simple.

Go M59 or L48, the L45/39 is just to small compared to the others. The tires are tiny in comparison.

I had the L48, the L M H range on the HST L48 are just not what 99% of what people want. M is way to low and H is way to whimpy. I'd take the L39, L45 or L59 any day over the L48. I am surprised they even offer the L48 anymore. L48 = giant mistake in my opinion.

Compared to the JD 110, not sure if I'd take the L48 or the JD 110. L39, L45 or L59 no question over the JD 110.

In all fairness you weren't using the L48 for it's intended purpose either,,, I also had one, for 5 plus years with hoe,, For construction it was hard if not impossible to beat for that size/weight machine,, Terrible using 3 point and hog mowing, Just to slow or too, too fast,, Not good gearing for 3 point use,, I believe you didn't even have the hoe part,, I remember the pictures you showed of a pretty hilly area,, You probably were better off when you traded for the 3830 or whatever it was you replaced the 48 with.
