Farm Roxor Reporting for Duty

[Day Radebaugh]

Here's some pix of my RXR on a Kansas farm. Put on the Rock Road folding windshield, which has worked out fine. Nice piece of gear, good price and
well supported by the vendor. Since this is basically a working truck, I outfitted it for utility and convenience. Put on the pickup ROPS to make the bed
easier to reach, and built a folding tailgate. The swing out thing was kind of useless out here.

For a farm or ranch, this thing is a dream. I can't see how I ever got along without it. It's not a garage queen, but is extremely useful. Currently in use
out in the pasture digging out invasive cedars trees for transplanting to tree rows around the buildings.

Next mod will be to get this thing up higher. Will put on more rubber, and want to lift it a couple of inches without radical mods or big bucks. But more
clearance would help avoid rocks and stuff in the pastures.

Any suggestions how to modestly lift this thing on the cheap?

Nice rig, love the sign on the tailgate!

From my humble perspective, driving around in a Roxor on a farm in beautiful spring weather is living about as well as one can imagine.

Latest incarnation of farm RXR. It carries my sprayer for pasture management, and a nice hose reel I installed. I can park in the middle of a cluster of trees I'm going to spray, unwind the hose, and walk around and treat them. Works nicely. I have my weed whacker and chain saw under the sprayer, plus a shovel. All I need.

Very nice

I agree that the roxor is the perfect farm vehicle. Just finished clearing my roads after hurricane Ida. Hauls equipment like a mule, can go any where and pulls like a team of ox.
Great idea with the spray platform. That will be my next project.

Thanks for the pix. You have a nice set up there. What I like about the RXR is how you can customize this thing to the limit. In terms of the farm use, I just can't live without it. Don't understand how I ever got along before I got it.

Is like a tractor, once you have one you realize how handy they are.

My only issue is with the hitch. With a spare tire on it is not usable.

This is my solution to that problem

Cecco’s bumper tire carrier solves that problem. Unfortunately he doesn’t offer it anymore.

I am thinking being I built my cab from steel, I may take it off the tailgate and mount it on the roof
