if you had a camo tractor the cows would always be scratching their back on it, and your paint would have rub marks on it.:laughing:

Why no camo? If it was Realtree or the like, it would add it would add so much to the price we all would have to drive Cub Cadets...LOL

Ok I'm a newbe here that's for darn sure. When I saw this topic I just couldn't help myself, I just had to jump in on it. I recently purchased a Kubota B2320. I think that a Kubota is the best value for the bucks. Where I worked (for 39 years) they had a Kubota when I started working there and they still had it when I retired. They took good care of it and they didn't let every Tom, Dick and Harry drive it. But I digress, already.
The only thing I never liked about the Kubota was the color. I have this thing that my dearly departed father instilled in me that has to do with something he called "out of sight, out of mind". Today with all of the high tech criminals and tools like google earth and clowns with drones, how do you hide a bright orange tractor in your back yard. I found the answer. I brought the tractor home from the dealer and to make a long story short, I painted the whole thing a dull olive drab. Kinda takes me back to my Army days and makes me smile. I call it my CAMOTA.

Man... nothing like reviving old threads! :laughing:
Anyway, a while back one of my friends was selling some big army surplus camo tarps. They were kind of like guily (have no idea if I spelled that right) suits and very durable. I think they would have been perfect for you. I just couldn't imagine taking a can of spray paint to a nice new shiny tractor... maybe it's just me.

I don't believe it for one bit! I have it on good authority that the only thing that will permanently stick to Kubota paint is the tears of Angels.

Yeah, well the camo tarps are great but sooner or later you gotta take the tarp off and drive the tractor. With my luck that's the day google would be up there taking pix and they would be out there on the web for a couple of years or until the tractor was vandalized/stolen/chopped up for parts. And, yeah I did use rattlecans, but not a bad job if I do say so myself. And it was fun 'cause I hate orange...When I saw the tractor in the showroom, I said "baby you got a date with a bugbomb". Hey we're not talking about a stradivarious here, we're talking about a tool. And as my dearly departed old man used to say "a tool isn't much good if you can't lay your hand on it" Yes a shiny new paint job is great 'cause the camo paint sticks better to it. And the only insurance policy I have on the tractor was purchased from the Smith & Wesson agency. Any other insurance is a bad joke. I wish I could say it was my idea to paint the tractor camo but I got the idea from a friend of mine who bought a brand new J D mostly because it was green, when he got it home he painted the wheels green too. Cabela's is selling green tractors, I wonder why. They could have picked any color they wanted. I'm proud to be a redneck with a green tractor
