Somebody lived in a Deere hood?

I could be completely wrong but being that kind of odd mint color I’d think that might be a corporate color. As in it may have been owned by a company that paints all their equipment some unique color.

Nope not grey market, L275DT was a US model.
I've seen that color before, it's a rental company that did that if I remember right.
I think it was Sunbelt Rental?
That would have been a long retired rental.

That's faded out Sunbelt green, alright.

With no loader, that seems like a rather steep price, even though the hours are low.

Yes I still see newer Kubotas around the Sunbelt lot painted green.

Yup, faded sunbelt green.

Seems like a huge waste of money to me. I can understand brand recognition....... but it seems more cost effective to throw $30 worth of stickers on the unit instead.

Especially when your talking about 1000's of pieces of equipment.

Maybe the odd paint color reduces theft because thieves may think it has less value.

Yep this & that.. you would think they would want people knowing they use quality machinery!

Yep that color does devalutize it's for sure!

Sunbelt gets units for the entire company across the usa, I doubt it cost much more over a std price. Worked on a lot of generators for them. Multi quip had the sunbelt green as an line item for any exterior panels. No extra cost. Same with their pumps and most other equipment. Just became a std color for a lot of manufacturers.
