Kiss principle Buying new or old Compact TLB?

[Industrial Toys]

I guess the term TLB applied to CASE 580s and the like. Not really the modern trend of putting a loader and hoe on a garden tractor.

I often read where people don稚 use the 3 point ever.

I may be the exception to the rule, but I bought my L47 as a TL with 3 rear remotes and extendable lower links and telecopying stabilizers. I bought it that way because I need to use my bushhog, box blade, york rake, etc. and I wanted a smallish tractor built for a lot of loader work. Opportunity knocked and I ordered a BT1000B backhoe attachment, but I expect that the three point will be on most of the time.

This is my only tractor, so I use it for all my chores.
There is no comparison between a compact agricultural tractor with a front end loader and a L47TL. Kubota is the only choice in this class and it's not a bad one.

I wouldn't discourage the OP from buying new if he can afford it. Besides Kubota doesn't build used machines so they have to come from somewhere.

Someday my machine will be on the used market, but I probably won't be around to list it.

I’ve never had the 3 point arms on my M59 but I probably will sometime. The ability to quickly drop the backhoe off for doing low clearance work with the loader shouldn’t be dismissed. The real advantage is these machines have a loader and backhoe that’s twice as strong as a similar sized tractor and a lot more durable backhoe and loader mount.

There all sorts of makers of TLB痴, I can think of 5 off the top of my head. Kubota is unique in that they also have the ability to take the backhoe off and add a 3 point. I often read where people don稚 use the 3 point ever.

I am curious!
I know that Kubota makes dedicated mid size TLBs, and John Deere formerly built their 110TLB in that catagory.
Who are some of the other ("all sorts of ") manufacturers of mid size/farm size dedicated TLBs?

Not sure if Terramite fits into that category. Also maybe Bobcat and JCB had weird little TLBs.



I had thought of buying the wheeled version of this years ago. Never knew this even existed.

JCB and Terrex come to mind for smaller TLB's. Someone posted earlier that only Kubota made true TLB's but it didn't mention size.

The subject introduced by the OP should cover that. Compact TLB.

The larger of Kubota's TLBs is smaller than what I would call a full size (ie. NH 655) but it more in the utility size, rather than a compact.

My interpretation of the OP's question would exclude anything in the utility size or larger.

Just my opinion, I don't intend to speak for the OP.

Why does your photo not show a mounted fire extinguisher?

I think JCB builds used machines. A dealer and rental house once told me "They Come Broken". lol

Not a bad idea. I'll add that to the list. I thought about just driving into the pond.
