Kubota's compact Tractor Loader Backhoe series are versatile machines that can be used not only for construction work such as digging or loading but also for rear implement work using the three point linkage and PTO. Kubota introduced the M59TLB as the top end model of this series. Kubota successfully increased the competitiveness of the M59TLB to make it a product which is acceptable even for the large TLB market. This success is the result of the technological achievements mentioned in this paper such as an electronically-controlled HST with a stall guard system, an auto-self leveling loader valve, control over the backhoe swing rushing phenomenon, and the crawling feature from the backhoe seat, strong loader dump force, and more.
