L39

I don't have the quick coupler bucket, just the 18" that came with the machine. I racked the bucket and bent the side. Our weld shop fixed and reinforced the edges. My teeth are already getting banged up.

Have a few very small dings in hood. Broke the tail-light lens on a leaning tree that just caught the edge, and put a 1-1/2 hole in the grill.

I need skypups grill guard.

I keep the machine greased. Use at least half a tube each 12-15 hours, more often in dusty conditions

Under the right circumstances the loader will just barely lift he rear end off the ground. I was picking up a 7' root ball and it got scary.

I still say the bucket curl is weak compared to the rest of the machine.

I wish the machine had another 25 or so hp and weighed +10K lbs, was 6 " wider in track, and had 12.5 x 18 front tires, 17.5 X 24 rears but otherwise not more than a bit physically larger than it now is.

I would not want a full size TLB, just one almost as strong.

I was thinking more of the something in size between theIR 370 & IR 570, with a 3 Point hitch, PTO and one size larger rear tires i.e 17.5-24.

Hope Kubota is listening for the L48 replacement
