My m59

[Hersheyfarm]

Here is my m59. After using a 580l for the last year it is surprisingly good. You don't move as much material of coarse but it can defiantly dig. Its mobility is a super plus. Also incuded my truck for curiosity.

Looks good. Were you able to lift that rock in the first picture with the BH? If so that's impressive and you may want to add a wider bucket to help speed up digging. Have you looked at how hard it is to removing the BH? I wish my 580k had a 3pt hitch.

What is the top speed of the 59 going down the road? Is it fast enough to get plates for it to travel on the rpad if needed? Just asking...

No, I couldn't lift that sucker with the hoe, definately weighed more then 2k! I have a 24" too, but generally use the 12 to pick out rocks. Backhoe isn't bad to remove when you get the hang of it. If you have level ground it pops on a off. You have to keep the pins greased/anti-seized though.

Sorry Bro! 3.73 rear...around town I get 13 (lead foot), on the highway I can get to 19mpg, if I cruise nicely at 65. The truck is quick, so it's hard to go slow!
