New M59 finally arrived!

You know, my wife was the one who insisted I buy the M59. I was the the reticent one.

She thought the M59 would be safer out there.

I really do think the m59 is safer, even with a full bucket of gravel it feels rock solid, and everywhere I go is sloped somehow.

The cab would be nice, no doubt. I imagine they will come out with one at some point, but who knows how long.

Agree.

I've used both tractors in the same conditions. The 59 is more sure footed in steep uneven terrain. While I had tire ballast on the 39 the 59 doesn't seem to need any.

I figure the added 59's weight and wider track lines it out better.

All these tractors are expensive. My opinion is you might as well get one that does just about any job you need doing. I feel the same way about trucks. If you amortize the cost difference over 10 years you might as well get the bigger tractor.

I sure can't go to town for help and my neighbors count on me too.

yeah, I'm isolated by the atlantic from the nearest tractor dealer, so reliability is impoortant to me.

I did foam the tires as well, for similar reasons. But I like the weight too.

I started another m59 discussion thread for us to all weigh in on - might be more obvious than my happy post that started this
