Kubota Paint Is A Near Exact Match To Husqvarna For Those That Like A Matching Color

[AGTtactical]

I recently was looking for some more outdoor tools...wife wants a battery powered weed wacker. Husqvarna gets really high reviews for their 536LiLx (now 520i LX). Turns out, their line of equipment...power tools, chainsaws, etc. all have a paint that is practically identical to Kubota. Does it matter? No...but it sure looks nice having a barn full of tools that all match, from my SVL-95 down to a string trimmer. I love it!

For reference, I took a can of Kubota Orange II (bought from Kubota), and painted a metal square, then compared it to some Husqvarna tools at our local Lowes. You can't see the difference...its that close of a match. I also compared to Stihl, which is not a match...more a faded orange than Kubota/Husvarna. Another benefit is we can buy Husqvarna practically anywhere...Lowes, Home Depot, even Amazon. Stihl I always have to go to a dealer. Sady I have a bunch of nice Stihl tools already, but I'll replace them with Huskys as I wear them out.


Kubota orange is also a close match to Black & Decker's paint color these days...but not sure I want to downgrade from my DeWalt tools though. But, for the price difference, it might be worth it given the rate at which cordless tools are changing and getting more powerful.

I have a husky yard cart that I rebadged and pull behind my rtv.

Rebadged? You mean you put a Kubota label on it? Nice!

There are at least two Kubota Orange colors. Old and new.... I'm not sure of the split date.

Yes...that's why I said Kubota Orange II. The original Kubota orange color hasn't been used in 30 years. I clearly wasn't talking about matching a 3 decade old discontinued paint scheme.

KUBOTA ORANGE 70000-73710 70000-73709 70000-73708 OLDER TRACTORS (Approx 1989 and older)

and

KUBOTA ORANGE II (BRIGHT) 70000-73713 70000-73712 70000-73711 NEWER TRACTORS (Approx 1989 and newer)

**The various part numbers stand for aerosol, quart and gallon containers, not different color variants of Kubota Orange or Kubota Orange II.

I used Krylon tractor orange paint and I'm unable to tell the difference

Kryon actually makes another paint specifically for Kubota called "New Kubota Orange". https://www.amazon.com/Krylon-1954-Implement-Paints-Aerosol/dp/B01CTBEFNA/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=krylon+kubota+orange&qid=1571521357&sr=8-1

But, I'll stick with Kubota II paint from Kubota.

If i had the time and money, I would put Ford Badges on my GMC and paint my JD, Kubota Orange just to #$#$ with some peoples heads.

FWIW, I've painted with the Krylon, and it didn't hold up as well as official Kubota rattle can paint. I've used quarts of Kubota "new" paint to redo old loader buckets and a rear blade, and it was good paint! The little extra money for Kubota spray paint is well spent, IMO.
