I like money more than political ideologies. I am a greedy, naked capitalist,
opportunist.
I am sure some would buy it just because it was red white and blue. But some
would brand me some kind of alt right company I am afraid. Just like I judge a
large pick up truck, rollin’ coal, with a huge US flag or flying the stars and
bars. I immediately categorize them and start to plan my escape in the event
of road rage...
While I sometimes am a sympathizer to the right, I am more in the middle on
many issues. Perhaps my age has something to do with it. I see more shades of
gray now. When I was young, I was almost a John Bircher.

I have a new product, larger than anything I have made before. It is a self
propelled grout mixer similar to the Ditch Witch R300 with a 1CM mixer
attachment. I have some significant improvements over their product but they
both do the same thing and look a bit similar. Our attach method between the
grout mixing tub attachment and the rest of the machine is almost identical to
DW to allow interchangeability between brands. Similar to a universal skid
steer attachment. This is a high demand machine for the micro trenching
world.
I am at the point where I have to choose a color for the machine. I will avoid
Ditch Witch colors. The John Deere trademark decision says I could paint it
green but not the same green with yellow of JD equipment.
I hate to paint it the generic cat/JD/vermeer type of yellow that everyone else
seems to use. It is not agricultural so probably not JD green. Not sure if
Ford blue communicates solid USA made good stuff. Thinking Kubota orange, but
does that communicate inferior Kubota? Years ago Kubota was truly inferior but
now-a days they make good stuff.
It will soon get lots of grout spatter on the outside. Almost impossible to
keep these things spotless. So darker colors will emphasize the mess. Could
paint it concrete gray to minimize that but that does not excite me at all.
What color makes you think “solid, American Made, durable, good value”?
