The jcb is only $80k? Would have thought more
Any one heard of the new M62 coming out?

Add said 2014 new. Been listed for a while. I think the list about 10% more. Place has some 1 year old "new" excavators and such that prices seem decent also. Hundayi, Komatsu etc.

I was at the Kubota dealer a couple of days ago and saw a combined brochure for the L46 and M62. The pictures of the 62 without the cab seems to show a lot of frame work for the cab but no glass in it. There was only one pic with the glass in the frame work and it looks OK at best. Mind you, there wee not a ton of pics but unfortunately from I saw it didn't look impressive to me.

that framework is a ROPS\FOPS canopy just like the old models. Its not anything to do with the cab mountings. They where designed independently, which is part of the problem.

3cx is a full size, 3cx compact is the smaller one.

They are here. Mine is at the dealer getting the thumb installed and I should be digging in a few days. I stopped by to look at it, the first thing I noticed was no more clutch.

I've always wondered why that clutch was there in the first place. Kubota calls it a "traveling clutch" to distinguish it from the separate PTO clutch. It strikes me that such a tradtional driveline or traveling clutch isn't much use when a machine has such low gearing that it will spin all tires at an idle rather than stall. And HST doesn't need a clutch since the central pedal position serves that function. In fact, the whole HST system is a sort of variable fluid clutch.
Possibly the traveling clutch was envisioned as a safety feature of some kind? In 8 years I wouldn't have used the clutch on mine a single time were it not for its being part of the starter safety switch circuit. Having it there has kept me from doing the stupid thing of starting the tractor to warm it up while standing beside it out of pure laziness. So I thank Kubota for that. Though for all the other use it's gotten, my M59 clutch assembly could have been replaced with a switch in the seat.
Dang, I've run on about the clutch and just now getting to what I wanted to ask, which is:
Is there anything on the left side of the steering column where the clutch pedal used to be? Did Kubota move the brakes and HST control over more to the center?
good luck with your machine,

They got rid of the clutch and moved the brakes to the left side now rScotty.
