Barracuda, Congrats on your new tractor!
For the rear hydraulics you could check this out: Remote Kit for Kubota M59 Backhoe BT3951 | eBay
Prior to that though, call Messicks and see if they have the kit: Home | Messicks's

If you go with an aftermarket 3rd function, be sure to check the flow rate as a lot of them are meant for around 10gpm, and your tractor puts out 16gpm. I have the WR Long kit on my Kubota L series tractor and it is NOT rated for continuous flow, so that is something else to check as well, since you would want the ability to use continuous flow.


David, thanks for the pic! Love seeing new ones posted of the M59, and especially grapples
Here ya go...

Thanks for the info Piston. I had looked at that kit on Ebay, but listing says it comes with no valves. I assume you have to change/add a valve for the foot pedal to work inside the backhoe control case (or is it already there and you just need the plumbing)? I'm not afraid to do the work myself, but if I can get the dealer to do it for a reasonable price I'd prefer to go that route since it's still under warranty. I called the dealer back and they now have the pricing info, but wanted to wait until the owner got back. I've been working with the owner so hopefully he'll be able to cut me a little break on labor. Should know soon!

Ill second moving the brakes over to get the the go pedal more to the left. What a pain. And also someone said moving the parking brake to the right, That would make it hard to start the tractor wile using backhoe. I always use the lock on the front brake pedals for a parking brake. And please,Kubota, put a factory cab on it. Ive seen bx size tractors with cabs, why they completely skipped the M59 is a mystery. Ive had my issues with this tractor but there is not anything that even comes close to its productivity in a 8300lb package for a plumbing contractor. And its a nice tool to have around the farm. If they come out with a factory cab I'll defanantly get a new one, But I am very leery of tractors with DPF's.
