    WANTED Commercial TLB <40 HP

    Thanks, I am not ruling out traveling to pick up a good unit, In fact I have bought two trucks and a car online from TX and NM. I just found a local L39 and after a lot of consideration I think the newer L39 is a better value then the L35's, Its more money but with 198 hours on it ( true...

    WANTED Commercial TLB <40 HP

    Hello, I am looking for a small / mid size TLB like the L35 / B21 / L39 / B26 in the NY, NJ, New England area. I would consider other sturdy brands but nothing that came painted green. I wanted the smaller frame mounted backhoe. I have looked at several truly used L35's. By used I mean that...

    Tractor Transport Company

    Hello, Has anyone ever dealt with a shipping / transport company for transporting a TLB - I found a great L35 with very low hours Tractor is in CA buy I need to get it to CT - problem is its a 3000 mile trip and that cost may not make the purchase worth it. The tractor is no bargain now but...

    BX guys

    I just rented a BX 25, I had the same problem, for me it was one of the two safety switches under the seat that was not fully engaging at certain times and the motor would sputter an then crap out or sputter and catch itself and run, clamped a clip on the switch and prob solved

    Older models

    I have test driven and looked at a few older B20's, B21's an L35 and an L 48. The B20/21 are just too small for my needs, tough little units and in no way can be compared to the new BX line. Both are 4WD with the hydrostatic transmission. The hydro transmission is simple and smooth to operate...

    Any B21 or L35 owners out there?

    THANK you for your great input. THANK you for what to look for. I have found two triple mint B21's for sale locally ( 120 hours and 300 hours) , very expensive in my opinion - 22-24K! I also found an L35 locally for sale with only 350 original owner hours for 25K. Not terrible considering a...

    Any B21 or L35 owners out there?

    I am considering buying a B21 or L35 and would like to hear from any owner / operators out there. I would use the machine for excavating around existing home foundations to install drainage as well as trenching and loading / moving gravel and sand. Would love to know the machines limitations...

    B21 for 20K?

    $19,850 is too much for this B21 ???, If I bought a new machine it would have to be a larger machine than this B21. Just going to the Kubota website and pricing up a new TLB - the B26 ( 26 hp) or L 39 ( 37 hp) will easily put me in the 38000-48000$ range. Of course with the new machines...

    The machine is mint, On any tractor website the prices on all the b21's range from 15000 to 20000, even for a United Rental beater the ask price is 15,800.

    B21 for 20K?

    I missed out on buying a L35 ( 24,000$) and an L48 (20,000$) that were for sale locally last fall. L48 is probably too big for my immediate needs but could handle the occasional larger job. There is a B21 for sale in TX, 94 hours on it and it looks mint. By the time I had it shipped to me in...

    B20/21 or the L35?

    Hey B20barry, I am all for the B20's ! My search started for a B20 or B21 and has grown into L35 and L39's and now the L48....I know Ill take one of each! But the B20 is certainly a capable machine and I would be happy to own one.
