When I was in high school, 1971 - 1973, my dad bought a trucks for his business. Because he is crazy cheap, he bought a truck nobody wanted, a truck originally slated for county use, a bare bones thing, basically a heater and a key for options, 6 cylinder chevy engine, and a 3 on the tree tranny. Oh yeah, it was very, very close to Kubota orange! Our county used that color on all its trucks. I think so employees would not use them for personal business, nobody wants to be seen in something like that.

Our county trucks, where i grew up were orange also, dump trucks, pick ups...

Know a guy from univ tenn drove a bright orange truck. He took it to germany, they loved it over there.

Hope no rain sat, gotta mow and trim for my labor day picnic. Stop by if you are nearby.

Good evening all. 68F this morning, partly cloudy sky, calm wind. Winds picked up mid morning, sky cleared off, and high temp was 84F. Got morning Men's meeting, bike ride in. Worked on getting boat ready, heading to Bull Shoals and had a few issues last trip. Also napped, and mowed front lawn.

Early 70's Camero had an orange color option, step-son had a '71 in it

When I was a kid North Carolina state trucks were dark orange, they switched to yellow sometime in the 60's.

64 up to 84. Rain likely later.

VW beetles were popular at my high school. One girl I knew bought a used one and had it painted an orange color that looking back I'd say was perfect Kubota orange. Everyone knew where she went since it was the only orange car around.

Good morning all. Struggling to get to onto here these last couple of days. The broadband supplier's automated line test page won't even load, yet when I called in the fault, it came back as everything ok :confused3:. Yes, they would send someone out, but would bill me big time if no fault was found. Amazingly, within less than a minute, I then got through to a lady who was pleasant, polite and prepared to go off script. I asked her to listen and after a while, sure enough she could hear the crackling in the background and made a note of it on the call log, together with the fact that the crackling could be heard with all ADSL equipment at my end disconnected. With luck someone will be here Friday afternoon to sort it.

Drew, when you bought your Subaru, were you not tempted to go for an XV, (you may know that as a Crosstreck?), if only for the Kubota inspirted paint finish they offer it in ?

Talking of colors, on a tractor, red, green, orange, blue, all look fine to me, though on Tuesday evening we passed a black Valtra. Both wife and myself took one look at it, turned to one another and said yuk. It may have looked good in a fancy showroom, but working away in a field it looked way too serious. Goodness knows how depressing it must be on a dull winter's day.
