Buying Advice Kubota L39

[Stihl22]

I've got some question for you!

At first I was searching for a JD110 tlb because I think is more tractor size is better suited for my need. But I never found a good one. So It's been a while that I check for a use L39. I finally found one that look to me a good buy. It's a 2007 with only 580 hrs on it And it's right in my price range. What do i need to chek on the machine? Do they have some weekness?

For those of you that own a L39, what do you think about the use i'm gonna do with. First i'm gonna build my house next year on my land. I'm now in the process of cutting tree and building the driveway up to the house. I will need to remove some stump, winch trees with a 3pt hitch skidding winch, use the Fel with forks to lift pallets weighting approximatly 2000 pounds, snom removal on my driveway with a snowblower and the fel. I want a tlb for the backhoe performance of the machine, but i will mainly use it for real tractor work. I'm a little bit concerned about the small tire size on the L39...

I have the same year tbl ( 350 hours)and love it. Its lift capacity is great but scary when the backhoe is off. Not sure what the winch does for you. I put a chain around the bucket and drag em. Or double tongs on the fel and pick them up. I have a hydraulic snow blower for the fel and added a pto pump for better performance. I added a " ripper" or claw to the bh bucket options. Highly recommend for stump removal. Otherwise, use only the 12 " bucket. Cracked my 36" on a small (4") stump. I have turf tires. I put 40 psi in front when fel heavy weight. I have manuals if you have specific questions. Recent addition is a factory thumb. Just watched video on winch. Bh will do single logs with a bunch of chain work depending on terrain.

I had a 2005 L39 that I used for grading. Great "One user" tractor. An employee will tear up the transmission. I liked it and would recommend it. I just wished it had a torque converter type transmission like a commercial grading tractor. 210LE Etc. If I was going to buy new I would go to the L45.
