Don't own one of course... but when I was shopping, I figured there had to be a way of getting bigger tires on that little orange beast!!!

But other than that, I'd have wanted a hydraulic thumb on the hoe and hydraulics run up front for a grapple or 4-way bucket. I'm a grapple kind of guy!!!

Be aware any modification done to your tractor that is not approved by the manufacturer will VOID your warranty...at least, that's the way John Deere does it and I assume Kubota copies the BIGGEST and the BEST...

I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.

You trouble maker you

Personally I like the L39 over the Deere 110 (thanks to Chris's review) and when I looked them over closer. That aside I would go with what Doug mentioned grapple, and hydraulic thumb and be done with it -

New to the Fold: Kubota L39 w/grapple, pallet forks, BH QA buckets, and more!
JD 2520, 210Cx, 46BH, 60" Box Blade-Mid West, 52" Mid West aerator, 52" first choice Tiller, 5' Fontier blade, 42" pallet forks, Green MFG PHD, Mid West York Rake w/guage wheels, Cub 3204 with Blower & Simms Cab, Mowers (44",48",50"),Ford 2006 F550 turbo diesel 4x4 w/11' mason dump, 16' 10k Doolittle trailer, Southwestern enclosed trailer, Wright Stander RH 52", Better Outdoor Product Quick 32" WB mower, and more !!

Oh, no question. That's what makes the mystery of why there isn't a tire upgrade option being offered so interesting!

Perhaps there were or are plans in the works for yet another new TLB machine in between the L39 and M59 that will fill out those fenders???

Wives and girl friends have grapplers and their thumbs aren't that good.

Why is everyone hung up on the tires on the L39?
I know there not as big as the 110's tire. well the front are
but the rears are not. i like the lower center. less chance
of turning over like nuru's 3520 cab tractor is going to do.....
ok , that was not funny.....

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

Chris....

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.
