L39 TLB

[caballero59]

I have an L39 (460 hrs), M59 (270 hrs), 6415 Deere (1250 hrs). They all have their place but I'm still amazed at how much work the 39 & 59 will do for their size. For awhile, I thought of selling the L39 and replacing with a smaller, cheaper AG Kubota but I remembered what a pain it is to search for a clean, low-hour machine, bring all the maintenance up to date, sell the L39, and furthermore, there are so many things that a tractor smaller than a 39 won't be able to do. Even pushing snow, I wouldn't want the 6000 lb 39 to weight any less, and for sure, a FEL that won't lift at least 2k limits you to gardening type applications.

Yup....You should definitely keep your L39,..... and sell your M59 to me!

Buy one. You won't be sorry. Be sure and get the hydraulic thumb and aux's to the front for a grapple. It doubles their utility. I don't like the HST for ground-engaging implements but for everything else, amazing.

I was just kinda pulling your chain a bit about selling either of them.
I am very happy to already have a 250 hour 2006 L48 with 3rd function, diverter, hydraulic thumb, and 3 remotes.
But....who wouldn't rather have an M59?
An M59 ain't gonna happen to me though, as I am just a bit too old to change horses.

Your L48 will probably outlast my M59. Nice find!
