I rented a 59 for a weekend,, It was much more powerful than my old L 48 which is the model the M59 replaced. Only thing I didn't like was the loader was jerky at times,, Nothing serious, just enough to know it wasn'ta 100% smooth. This is also a rental machine which had 600 hours on it, so the jerky loader at times, could have been anything,,, To do it again,. I wouldn't hesitate a second to own a 59, especially after having a L48 for 7 years,,
