Need Help...One Ugly Orange Truck

[rtdiggr]

So i will ask again will you be painting your Kubota when you paint your truck?

I am not trying to be **** i just don't understand why your truck is a terrible colour but your tractor isn't. 90% if not more is orange on your Kubota.

It might even be legal to road hunt out of that thing

Nope. I won't be painting the tractor, just some touch up stuff. Maybe I will just let the truck go for now. I't may attact some more attention for my business and I'm sure it will "please" some of my neighbors....

Now that's good.....but I'd probably have to remove the new "camo" seat cover that I just installed...

Now you have your excuse to build a nice big heated garage for your equipment!

DRTYDEED, i still like the orange on your truck [sorry], but i did see taxi cab today that glowed orange i am surprised you didn't see it from were you are

Really more important that the colour how does it run? and does the dump work good? Mine isn't so pretty but in runs great [NOW that i put a few thousand in it] and the dump has been a life and back saver.

Rtdiggr, It runs pretty good now..had to put a new waste gate solenoid on in order to get the turbo to whistle dixie. Just need a few tires now.

The color....well let's just say that this weekend I finally had a chance to get the kubota in close proximity to the pumpkin. The oranges' aren't even close! So, maybe I'll just have to paint it kubota orange.

Maybe you all could help me with something though..

I'm really having a difficult time finding the GCWR (combined weight rating) for this vehicle. The GVWR is 15K, GAWR (front = 5K, rear=11K), rear axle ratio is 5.13. 2000 GMC Crew 3500 HD 6.5TD.

Call your local dealer to get an accurate answer, but I'd guess GCWR in the 22-23K range. More than a HD pickup, but less than today's F-450/550 trucks. You'll need to know in order to find out the max trailer size you can pull behind her.

There's probably someone here that owns an older 3500HD that knows. Crew cabs usually have a little lower rating than reg cabs.

Sorry i can't give you more of an accurate of an answer to the question,,, up here in Ont. i actually says the weigh of the vehicle on ownership.[commercial anyway] You could always get it weighed up at a quarrie.


Turbo so you have modern technology in your truck Mine doesn't have a turbo it is a 1991 and i think the turbos started in '94. I would like a bigger one maybe a 650 but now that i have my truck running good i keep holding off.
I think i may through some paint on mine this spring i have a MF and i like red so the body will be red and the box is already grey and my trailer is grey.
