    Will 27X11.00R12 75J 10 Ply tires fit the stock rins of an 1100C? On our RTV 900, we have GBC Kanati Mongrel 26 x10 x12 size tires and they fit with no issues.

    L-39 Wheel weights actually fit nice!

    Another 530 lbs total brings weight up to 7,800 lbs with bucket, and 8000Lbs with grapple, not counting operator. The BH-1000 is still strong enough to lift all 4 wheels off ground and the stabilizers still lift the machine. The L-39 looks so much more stable at only 1.75" wider. Chains will...

    Anyone Load rear tires of their L-39?

    With the ground starting to freeze up, I have started to move some large stumps to the dump piles and clear out some boulders that will be a nuisance for the excavator. Carrying these in the grapple, the tractor gets real tipsy on a slight slope, especially down hill of if a front tire drops in...

    Busy Wife This Weekend

    She and our little Kubota B7200 built this terraced garden plot. All I did to help was bucket out 5 loads of clay, a bit of BH work to set the larger stones and mix up some manure and soil with the L39. My time was less than 3 hours. She did the rest, leaving me to focus on road building...

    DK45 Cab Comments.

    Ok I'm a big but not huge guy, 6'-3" & 225 lbs. I have a Kubota L-39 and thought the DK-45S Cab was really slick as many times I wished for a cab vs. my 4pt Rops with roof. My comments on the DK45S cab are. Cab is sturdy and well sealed. Better than Kubota cabs I have checked out. Step up...

    Mini-Me Rock grapple for L39 BH100

    After looking at the full size rock grapples for excavators, I made this little toy to save my wife's back. She has the artist eye for everything from using a paint brush on canvas to building rock walls. I had our shop modify a Northern Equipment 32" Jaw opening large logging grapple to this...

    My poor Kubota L39 is not new anymore.

    After +90 hours my L39 is starting to look kike a rental machine. I am pushing it the same way I push my little B7200 Bota, and this makes me question my sanity, as I do rally care if I break this $40K with implements machine. Within the first few hour of use of my new Borgford grapple I...

    Best stump removal method with BT-1000

    I have more than a dozen stumps now under my belt with the L-39's BT-1000. This drizzly Sunday I went up with the wife to our 17 Acres so she could fetch her riding bear out of the barn. She left me there at the land to play with the L39 for 2 hours as she went shopping and I pulled 4 stumps...

    This Back Hoe Thumb thingy work rather nice

    Purchased from USA attachments: http://www.excavatorthumb.com/mt824_mini_excavator_thumb.html Make sure you prefit all the pieces together, as the fitment is rough. I ended up welding up a few of the loose pin holes and grinding the tight ones for a good fit. Also you need to special order the...

    Weak Loader on my new L39! What is going on?

    This weekend I used my new L39 TLB to remove a medium small size stump with the BH and used the TL 1000 FEL to grade the driveway and move some rocks and dirt. My other tractor is a tiny 1983 B7200. I have about 500 Lbs of steel plate attached to the loader frame and the relief valve on the...
