Did either of your tractors come with a factory backhoe? I know the BX could be ordered that way, not sure about your L355. Nice looking tractor, I looked the latter one up. :thumbsup:
The list I am making is for any of the Kubota made TLB's.
Heres +1 for the M59 (sorry, have not been monitoring this forum much recently).
As others have pointed out cost is probably the main reason they aren't more common.
I almost always buy big ticket items like this used - got mine nearly new (260 hours)
for about half the cost new. People often buy equipment like this for a business and
sell it after their need for it has ended. If you spend time looking and know what you
are doing it is possible to do very well buying used. I would not want anything smaller;
the M59 is ideal for what I use it for.
