My bet is they took it out first, because I spent close to 8 hrs try to get them out and a couple of other experienced people. Then when the sales man came he could not budge it either, but the tech back at the dealer said it took 5 minutes to get the one pin out, so I think he took the one in a bind out first. They ordered me new pins, but had to bore out the one sleeve. When he brings it back I should know more. I told him we would take it off before he leaves. It probably would be wise for any one buying one to do the same. My dealer was a couple of hrs away. I have not had it long enough to give a review of the M 59, but the time I have been on it has been positive.

Wow that SUCKS! Their under pressure to produce but not that much pressure. I bet a weldment is beyond tolerance buildup and they knew it and forced the pin with a Port-a-Power ( hoping it would relax under compression) and it will take one to pull it put too. Let us know what happens. M 59 are awsome!!!!!!!! Great new Product.

Your welcome. When do you get yours?

[Charlesaf3]

Wednesday! But not today... the 9th.

I can wait... I can wait...

Getting a harley rake (actually ATI preseeder) put on the front - I'll be the test case for whether the M hydraulics can run it. Looks like it'll work...

Also 4n1, 3 remotes and diverter, and thumb. Down the road I'm looking to get my hydraulic auger mounted on the backhoe - looks like it'll be doable, and that sure would make digging holes nice.

Got my tractor back yesterday when I was out of town. My wife said it took the dealer about 12 minutes to get the backhoe off. She asked him if kubota was having trouble with other m59s. He said when they called Kubota, They said they had 3 other cases. He also said they just got new pins and cleaned out the sleeve a little. I put the box blade (woods Hb 84) on about 7 this morning and graded about 1500 ft of drive that was rutted real bad. When going up hill with a huge load on the steepest part it would spin quite a bit. I had a hb72 on the 3830 , and dont seem to rember it spinning. In all fairness I was in some loose stuff with more than a full load. When using the ATA (Auto Throttle Advance) I don't think you could possibly stall the engine under any load. Still pretty impressed with no regrets other than not getting the front remotes. I got the thumb with the 3 extra remotes in the back though.

Glad it worked out.

Are your tires loaded? I got all mine foamed, adds 2000 pounds or so which really helps with dirt work. And no fear of flats.

No stall in dirt is a nice feature, though watch the auto throttle in wheelie situations.

Congratulations on your new tractor! I love the L39, and the M59 is even nicer.

Try adjusting the bleed-down knob between your legs just below the seat. I found that if it is too far open then whatever attachment is on the 3-pt gets very jerky. Play with that knob and see if it helps.

I've had the jerkiness issue on my 3030, but thinking about this, I may be turning the knob the wrong way. good thought

No, but I have already seen the need for it. What is the foam? and where do you get it? I had the box blade on it and loaded the bucket with dirt the back wheel came off the ground a little. I am going to sell it which is a hb 84 woods and get the extreme heavy duty. That will give me approimatly 250 more lbs. I have seen were a lot of people on TBN get the rim guard.
