Do you cary a weapon on your tractor?

Buster57 · Jul 8, 2002

This has to be a joke!
I can see a Mountain Lion or a Grizzly attacking a Kubota L3010!
A Bengal Tiger would stay away from the Kubota.
I think you are as safe on the Kubota as long as you keep away from the joy juice!

Whoa, Ranchman! I never called ANYONE paranoid, uneducated or extreme. All I said was the odds of being attacked are incredibly slim, but, you're right, they are not zero. If someone wants to carry a weapon, that's their choice, all I'm saying is you probably have a better chance of being struck by lightning on a sunny day, than being attacked by an animal on your tractor. But people HAVE been struck by lightning on sunny days, so nothing is a sure bet!!
If I sounded like I was talking down to ANYONE, that was not my intention, and I appologize!!!

The ROPS offers a great mount point for the optional Kubota 7.62mm M-60 (200-550 rounds per minute). The foldable ROPS offers aditional advantage that you can fold it down, comfortably operate the backhoe and quickly respond to aerial acorn bombardment from militant flying rodents. Or for true versatility, the Land-Pride M-16 with optional grenade launcher is always a good choice.

Actually there is room for another joy stick to run a cannon of some sort. Which actually may be a good option. Not real of course, but something that makes the right sound plus sparks or something like that.

Anyone remember the movie "Killdozer" about a construction crew on an island that gets terrorized by a dozer possessed by some alien energy form. Here's the tip: Don't hide in the pile of culverts. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Looks like Garage Stogie Man got his answers. Honestly, I like the cab suggestion the best. More places to mount the harware, and less chance of inadvertent injury from spent casings coming out of the 600 round per minute .50 Cal on the ROPS.

See, all sorts of ideas come from this site. I forgot about the spent casings...gotta rethink the concept of the Compact Assult Tractor.

It does my heart good to see ya'll have taken this discussion to it's logical end. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Seriously Mark. You have to be kidding about not absolutely loving Terry to death. I have a hard time deciding whether I like her or Diane better on the interviews./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

RichZ -

Thanks for the clarification.

I'd have to go back and check this, but it appears that I'm the only one so far who readily admitted that I carry a firearm while on my tractor. /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

Is this correct or did I miss someone out there?

Well now ranchman, with this crew I'd say you neither get a butt chewing or applause for that either or.

You carry a gun while operating your tractor.

I don't.

Big deal.

But I will put my grin against yours any day of the week!

But I will warn you fair and square. Mine is ear to ear and back again. Just want to be fair case that pistolever has your bearings not.
