kjc99 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited December 12, 2013 by kjc99
the goon Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Very well done Love to see the everyday "working" type vehicles. Mark
JamesW Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 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.
kjc99 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 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.

Ramfins59 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 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.
PappyD340 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Fantastic looking build Kyle, you did a great job on it!!
David G. Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Excellent work! I love all the added detail in the bed. David G.
kjc99 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 Thanks a lot guys, glad to see you all like it!
Davewilly Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 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.
kjc99 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 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.
Helix Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Impressive work Kyle, really like the details mate, well done
Harry P. Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Ditto all of the above. Very cool all the way around. And I love the lawnmowers! Too cool!
