This is my Ford F350 dually landscape truck. The trailer is the display case one with a scratch built ramp. The stacks on the truck are made from brake lines and all the tools in the back are from the hobby gear landscape accessory pack. I also used real bed liner in the bed. The mowers on the trailer are Kubota 1/24 die cast. I liked building this one a lot and the mowers I found really made it work well.

I had the same idea, but wasn't sure on the exact size of those Kubota tractors. Now I know, guess I'll have to order a couple.

Thanks everyone and James I have seen them in 1/32 as well but I saw these two and a sort of backhoe tractor in 1/24, they are getting a bit harder to find but they are worth looking for.

Kyle, that is really cool. I built something similar about 16 years ago but I scratchbuilt a mower and all the tools. I love those mowers on your trailer. Great job.

Very nice...I like the lawn mowers very cool. where was it that you found them? I work for a storage equipment company designing conveyor systems and pallet rack layouts. I want to do a version of our truck and fork lift so I have been looking for some 24th scale forklifts...that are not to expensive anyway.

thanks Dave, the I first saw the lawnmowers at a landscape equipment store near me for $40 each, but since I didn't want to pay that much I checked ebay and got them for about $15 each. I haven't personally seen a forklift but I'm sure there are some out there.
