Black as standard loader attachment paint?

[mcfarmall]

Something about a black bale spear just seems inherently dangerous.

Paint it Hi-Vis yellow like all the t-shirts nowdays. Better yet, stab the tip(s) in the ground when not in use then it becomes a trip hazard instead of an impalement hazard.

Black seems to be easier to spot repaint [ semi-gloss black ] and does not show rust much. I used to paint all my stuff Rustoleum Sunrise Red, but now just use the black. Paint your stuff what ever color you want.... Life is short, but it sure is good

+1, semi gloss black is the easiest to color match for touch ups

OEM no, aftermarket, yes.

That's a lot of green for orange

Always is. What's the saying, "If it's Orange, bring lots of Green."?

I get the economy thing, but it seems weird that they'd default to black and not yellow or light grey or sky blue or something easier to see. Something about a black bale spear just seems inherently dangerous.

Everything Attachments will paint the grapple orange or green for $50, but the rear scraper or rake is yellow with no options. Seems like doing yellow standard for them would make sense.

But the obvious solution is for me to just spray paint the outside corners whatever high visibility color I want.

Black goes with everything - While I'm cheap and would certainly use a Kubota OEM bucket if I could find one at a really good price, and I wouldn't paint it, it would sure look odd with my blue tractor. Everyone would think I had a Mercum.

If all else fails, black will always match the colour of your tyres.

In my own blasphemous way, I think all tractors should be J.D. Construction, Cub Cadet, or Case Yellow, with semi-gloss black implements/backhoes/etc....... But, that is why they don't put me in charge.....

Black is just cheaper, hides a lot of sins, and has good coverage qualities ie. one coat usually does it. Better coverage than orange ;-(

BTW My OEM bucket is orange!
