New Red Red Tractor Shed...

[WVHillbilly520H 10,369]

This has been in the works since the herd grew from 1 to 3 then 5 plus all the implements/attachments and now the eMax, I ordered another 18'Wx21'L with 8' walls carport/building red with a beige roof and black trim, it will be going where I had the TSC 10'x10' ShelterLogic hiding 3 520s at one time, but the area wasn't big enough so I did a little excavating with the eMax before it arrives and installed and of course once I was pretty much done this evening it's starting to rain and supposed to through Saturday, still need to "level" it but at least with the FEL and rear blade it was 100% easier than a pick hoe shovel and wheel barrow, more pics to come once it's up, Jeff.

That is going to nice. Just waiting on the picture of the shed and the horses resting in it.

that is what i put up 10 yrs ago same company also. 20' by 20' with a 10' by 7' garage door on one end. it has never leaked a drop of water yet .

seems no matter what size building you have it will always be full of stuff never big enough 

[WVHillbilly520H 10,369]

Just went out after the rain let up to see how unlevel my excavating was, surprisingly I guess playing machinist the last several years must have "trained" my eyeballs to get it close enough before grade staking and plumb line, Jeff.

Jeff,

    As a machinest you done good.Anytime you can level a spot in Staunton you deserve a pat on the back.Beautiful country but you have to work hard to get a level place.Luck,JAinVA

I did not know there were any level spots in Staunton. Are you sure you live in or around Staunton Va. 

[JAinVA 4,619]

I'm with you Jim,Jeffs pictures don't give the unknowing any indication of how hilly the Staunton area really is.In my mind one of the most beautiful areas of VA.

Me thinks Billy you got the knack for living on steep ground!!

I went to get my building permit approved and was shot down a bit, government rules and regulations , anyways had to enlarge what I had already done so here's a shot with the eMax in action, Jeff.

For a carport style building, now you need 2 copies of engineering design blue prints even with the bill of sale stating size and certified wind and snow load rating (technically it's not a permanently attached/fixed garage it's just a glorified carport that will be anchored to the ground) and I was too close to the neighbors' property line by 18" (yes 18 inches WTH) so I had to dig further into the bank to solve that, anyways it will be up by June, Jeff.

That's a different looking back blade for that tractor, looks like extends out a fair amount because of that sub-mount? Not quite seein what that is for?

Jim if you're talking about that black part on the three point, that's a quick hitch... common for quick changing three point attachments. Saves time monkeying around with lining up the lift points.... just back up, hook it and go.

Extra counter weight for the bucket as well or to quick hook up ballast too. Are those available in all categories?

No, they're mostly for Category 1, 2, etc., but not for Category "0".  But I did do a 3D model and drawing for a Category "0" quick hitch from a buddy of mine's original design.

I said it would be up by June, came home to this today, my new red red tractor shed , kinda has a  flair to it wouldn't you say, I'll get some pics up after I get the building inspector here and cleared for use, Jeff.

[WVHillbilly520H 10,369]

Building inspector showed up passed all good, been working on my other toy the Malibu but here's a pic with a couple red tractors in it, Jeff.

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337]

Looks nice, and looks like there is enough room for more red in there.

[WVHillbilly520H 10,369]

Saturday I had approximately 20 ton of asphalt millings (they really pack down hard and tight especially in the hot sun) delivered to "floor" the new horse barn and few other things around the yard, the eMax saved my back and a 520 packed it all down, getting closer to adding a storage shelf or 2 and getting the other  and attachments in there plus building some doors, Jeff.

[AMC RULES 36,940]

Without the sun to bake 'em inside there...

I'm thinking a plate tamper would really help...

to bind them millings all together.

Early mornings to about noon the sun gets almost to the back of the building without doors, plus the all metal siding/roof holds the heat it's was definitely warm in there while rolling it, hopefully in the spring I'll get some thermal insulation up, Jeff.
