Some didn't make it::shitHitsFan:

I'll try again to upload again::sorry:

Attached are some pics I took this morning of my 2 L48s. I don't have the hoe on and I didn't time to bring out the KX121-3 for a family portrait. I will do so this spring. The new L48 is absolutely beautiful, brand spanking new.....only for a little while. I already had to scavange the new...

Used equipment even at a dealer is 12-14% compared to 0%/ 3 years. The financing makes a new machine almost = out the door cost of new machine, with no warranty. When I thought about trading my L48 in and up for a M59, they offered less than 1/2 new.....with 1,000 +/- hours. If they took the...

I thought about buying used, but at those prices for used L48s posted above, why spend only a couple 4-5$K less for a 6 year old machine with hundreds of hours......and no warranty? It is cheaper and better to buy new if you are going to have it a while. The extra cost is minor and easily...

Booooooooooo.....way too much, and talk about shopping for a machine without things such as a front bucket, backhoe bucket, lights, 3pt. hitch, ect. included.....what are they thinking, other than keeping the high price down. Just bought another new L48 for $27.5K, and that includes everything...

From Carver Equipment M59 Pricing Guide MSRP plus freight to dealer, assembly, test M 59 Tractor Loader ................ $ 36,900. with standard equipment and R4 tires, less loader bucket and without three point hitch linkage M 59 Tractor Loader Backhoe... $ 49,700. with standard...

L48 delivered today!!! Wahoo, but as I told the wife, it is like getting a new tool like a socket set, not too exciting, but defintly neat to see a brand new, absoletly spotless machine sitting there. I am going to give it a test run tonight, it has less than .25 hours on it!! I'll post...

Went to the dealer today to sign the paper work for the new 2nd L48, and I saw another on the lot getting prepped for delivery......seems like people are still trying to get L48s new before the M59s come out. I was suprised that my new L48 was not shipped with a truckload of M59s as the dealer...

LB sums up my feeling about the JD 110....having heard so many stories of them snapping in the middle as well:eek: . The underneath weakness is a huge problem for me, as is the manufacture by Yanmar but branded as a Deere:puke1: . The hoe looks inferior and especially the thumb pistons in...

Chris, Seems like the L39 is perfect for you from what you describe. Be careful about turning up the juice...voids warranties, breaks thinks, and makes you think you can do things you shouldn't. Just to be sure on your machine choice, drive a L48 and the L39 and see what you think...

For those who question the L39 vs. L48, lets be clear....the M59 is the high level TLB....as is the L48. Comparing L48 to L39 is same as B21 vs. l39. 2 different classes. Park a L39 next to a L48 and see for yourself, and a L39 next to a M59 is the same comparison. $4K more for a L48 to a...

The L48 is significantly more machine when parked side by side to L39 and I feel the spec.s are those of the machine way maxed out while the L48 can handle the rated loads comfortably. The machines are to far aprt for me size wize to compare them. The L39 is certainly a beast for the size...

L48 $39.9 for the last 2 rears in NH, I paid $38 2 years ago and $27.5 2 weeks ago for L48 no hoe. I think in the next few weeks is the shut off for selling L48s as the factory is probably no longer making them.

There is a term for when the extra whatever is not worth the incremental price.....law of diminshing returns I believe.......and that to me is the case of the M59. It is an excellent machine that unfortunatly costs too much, more than smaller and cheaper machines will do already other than few...
