I still think Kubota Orange looks too much like Allis Chalmers Persian orange with just a smidgen of Farmall Red thrown in.

Which would make it pretty close to the Flambeau Red that Case used starting in 1939, especially if you left it out in the sun for a little while.

I think later on they merged the colors more, to match that orange Chevy used for thier engines /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

No, the diesel is complicated enough, it's the hydrostat tranny that has me baffled. Or I should say, more baffled.

Actually, having a degree in hort is fun, but being a trooper and having one is not. Cops are so CHEAP. People drop by my office and ask me to go to lunch with them. I end up at their house, or their daughter's, or son's, laying out a sprinkler system or repairing a valve, in my uniform. Great way to spend my lunch, but I'm still not loosing weight. They always buy me a 99 cent big mac to eat in the car on the way back.

 guess no one's gonna try to tell you that "they're just tomato plants, Officer".

Actually, it is a bit fun. They say, "They are tomatoes, officer." I say, "No, I don't think they are Lycopersicon esculentum. I think they are Cannabis sativa. They aren't even in the same family." About that time they know they are had.

We had a grow operation we busted once. It was interesting to talk with him about his operation, about $1,000,000 per year. He had a few misconceptions about things. His biggest problem was spider mites that were sucking the sap from his plants and killing them.
