Earlier today (Thursday October 26th) around 3:30pm an orange tractor-like vehicle (possibly Kubota?) sideswiped our car that was parked at 24th & McDonald Ave. The tractor pulled over and started backing up (the beeping noise right outside our living room window is what got our attention) but when we looked out the window, the tractor started pulling away, driving West up McDonald Ave. By the time we got outside and saw the damage, the tractor was a block away and about to turn South on 26th Street. We got in our vehicle (with much difficulty, as the entire drivers side is wrecked and the door wouldn't open) but once we got around the corner, the tractor was out of sight. We called the police and drove around looking for it, but nobody could find it. We know it had large tires, since all the marks on our car are black rubber and they go right up to the mirror.  
 
If anyone knows or saw anything about this hit-and-run, please send me a message, or call the Brandon Police.

i live on 24th and mcdonald, There has been a small kubota with a bucket on the front and and excavator on the back up and down the street and back alley all week. I've been working in my yard all week, digging up around the foundation to waterproof it and have seen that tractor repeatedly.

PM'd you!

We've visited local construction sites and equipment rental shops and we've narrowed it down to a telehandler/zoom-boom. Still hoping the dude will turn himself in...

I drove by less than an hour ago and there is an orange Kubota parked in front yard of a house near 24th and McDonald. The yard is dug up with signs in front of the house. Sorry, didn't get the house number.

Yes That's been there a while now and was not the kind of vehicle we saw fleeing the scene. Thanks for your help though

Guess it can't be that easy! Hope you find it!
