| Re: Let's see your snow removal equipment Here's the latest setup on my snow machine.
Bought an old 6' Meyers truck plow, and added loader mounting brackets to work with my quick attach. Needs fresh paint, but that won't happen until summer. I plan to do the entire frame in Kubota grey, and may do the moldboard in Kubota orange - haven't quite figured that out. The paint on the back of the moldboard is in decent shape, but the front is trashed with a crappy coat of paint from the previous owner. Also, I'll work on the hydraulic angling this summer.
But I wanted to get everything fabbed up so I can start using it to plow all the drives and the portion of road that I have to deal with. Took the pic Feb. 23rd. You can see how I've had such a need for serious snow removal equipment this year.

I would paint the frame black and the plow Kubota orange it will look like a factory job, Black springs, and black skid plates too. Kubota's plow frames are black and only the tractor frame itself is gray. It wouldn't look good all orange. But that's just my opinion. I wouldn't say anything if it was already painted. I hope you don't mind my two cents.

OH come on WaxMan. You don't like orange frames! Everyone who have seen mine assumes it's factory fresh and mine is orange. Even some of the Kubota reps were out checking out the beast the other day and thought it mached the tractor better  Quote:

| Re: Let's see your snow removal equipment Ooh, I like that 4shorts.
I may just have to go with all-orange. I've been a little unsure if I liked the Kubota grey frame attached to the orange quick attach, but wasn't sure where to stop the orange and start the grey.
Looks like I'll have to play around a little bit and see what I can come up with.
But the all-orange looks better than I thought it would.
