ok , that was not funny.....

but i think you get the point.....

Face the facts Chris! You know I admire the L39 too. But those silly little "weenie" tires are an embarrassment. I mean... what is Kubota trying to prove here? That they can squeeze the L39 into a doghouse???

Any honest Kubota dealer will tell you (in private and after checking his/her office for bugs!): They wish Kubota offered a full-size tire upgrade for the L39. Everyone would go for it.

The L39 with weighted tires feels stable on hillsides unlike the B21 I traded in. It felt like you will roll over if you back over a 4x4 on one tire.

if the L39 had full size tires. you would not be able to fit it in a 8 foot door. I just think bota was trying to fit a certain market. and thay did it pretty well.

John Deere 2520 , R4's , 200CX loader with 61 inch bucket and JD Tooth Bar. And Markham 7 tooth. Tooth bar. 46 Backhoe with 16 inch bucket. with Custom made Street Flip pads off a 448 hoe. Foward work lights. Dual rear work lights. Heavy duty Alternator. I-Match , Ballast Box , Frontier BB2060 box blade , Frontier pallet Forks , JD 3 point reciever hitch. and soon A lot more.. and for grass cutting , John Deere GX 255 with 48 inch deck.

While there was an L48 still available for folks like me wanting a bigger, heavier, more serious business-oriented machine... I'd agree with you. But now the L48 is gone and the L39 must somehow become all things to all people (unless, of course, you have won the lottery and can afford to buy... and have a truck & trailer that can haul around... an M59).

The L39 is begging for a tire upgrade option. "Weenie" tires just don't cut it for me. You can always stick with the stock "weenies" if you have a garage door issue or a low tree to mow around. No one is forcing anyone to upgrade. But for moi??? Give me some full-size tires!

Hey Chris I'm not positive, but I think Doug wants bigger tires. If only he knew how to make his wants clear.

Now Tim, you are a reasonable man. You've got to agree with me here. It's a damn embarrassment that Kubota continues to put little "weenie" tires on a $36,000 TLB. You know it as well as I do. If this machine is made to compete seriously and effectively against the JD 110 TLB, it needs to have a full-size tire option... period! No ifs, ands or buts about it!!!

The L39 will do anything the JD 110 will do. except turn over as fast
on a slope , because of to much ground clearance. because of them over grown tires.....

There does appear to be quite a gap between the top of the rear tires and the fender..

You could always find a way to get bigger wheels and tires, but the cost would have me getting use to, then loving the low slung look.
