Did you know Kubota makes a 4 wheeler?

[ccsial]

Hahaha, and here I thought I had a Kubota addiction problem! Nice stuff.

I've been hounding Kubota Corporate lately for more merchandise and stuff. I keep telling them I'm sick of seeing even John Deere toilet paper. We need more orange.

I ride a Goldwing and there are very few things compared to Harley. I don't think the Japanese feel they are an American Icon.

Can you give more details on this?

 

[ovrszd]

Can you give more details on this?

I believe it to be an M917 painted Kubota orange with a few mods?

I don't know anything about the truck--just took a photo on one of my visits.

Oooppss Six, I think I missed. It's actually a 2 1/2T truck with the tandem rear axle removed and a 1/2T trailer bed attached. Might have missed some details on this. Saw one in person few years ago. Very cool!!!!

Sorry, still can't get it. Probly my computer.

Those things are wayyyyy cool. Just hard to find a niche for it other than the shock factor. They are VERY big when standing by them. Very heavy. Hard to find a good use beyond the cool factor!!!!

Thanks for the pic Bruce.

Did you do the work on that truck? It's beautiful and very tastefully done. Is the rear bed stock 2 1/2 ton?

I know you are asking Bruce, but I'll rudely chime in....

I think I miss quoted earlier, it's actually a 1 1/2T trailer bed. that's the trailer that is normally pulled behind the 2 1/2T truck.

This conversion is very cool. I don't "want" one. But I "need" one.

Very nice job on the ATV. Tasteful and makes you look twice.

I picture my retirement in much the same way. Having the time to inexpensively indulge my whims. Must be very relaxing and fun.

There is a whole industry converting those trucks.

To avoid hijacking this thread any more, I've started a new one.

Hah, that dealership is just down the road from us. Seen that truck more than a few times when driving by.

Nice job on the 4x4.

Bruce, why did you post that picture? Now I will have to repaint my service truck. I have a '92 Ford F700 with knuckle boom and service bed. I knew it needed paint, but now I know what color.

She's all wheel drive too. I only paid 3 grand for her, with the boom! I had the boom out in this pic to help change those heavy wheels and tires. I do think she would look good in black and orange.

Nevadblue---Go ahead and paint it. Most anything looks better in Kubota Orange II.

Yep.....my thread has ben hijacked, but for the first time it didn't upset me. I thought my 4 wheeler was awesome, but now I want one of those trucks and I was actually following everyone that was inquiring about it until I realized we had jumped off subject of my thread! Now I'm trying to find one of those trucks for my next project!!! LOL
