The Garage Thread: Tractors and UTVs

I probably should have called this the garage thread.

People spend their money in crazy ways huh.

I don't want a pickup and I do want a garage that is made out of the same materials as my house.

You're right I'd probably be better off with a metal garage and the rest in the SP 500.
I was thinking bigger garage and bigger tractor. Duck the s&p. You will be in the distribution phase of life. To get the ideal tractor you are thinking about I'm thinking 50k with all the goodies. the 10x5 spot just won't cut it. I to would like a tractor but don't have the property to justify it. I do however want a pickup,I just need one with great he mileage.
Your going to use it so get what you want... This of course if money is plentiful.
 
Definitely don’t listen to me then, We have 5 garage bays and none of our cars have ever been in them. But if you want to see what it’s like to plow with a tractor you’re more than welcome to come over to my place next time it snows. The key is always in it. That’ll free me up to help you with those pesky first chair front page stories.
I will second the grapple on the loader. Make picking up brush and logs so much easier. What are the things on the back of the tractor you use to grade gravel driveway. Those things are pretty good to. And the blower attached to the back where you blow in reverse not worth having. Just use the bucket at that point
 
Thats just unAdirondackian. Whats next no Carharrt? ;)

My primary vehicle will be a pickup.

I was trying to say: I don't want a plow on my truck, and I don't want an additional truck for plowing.

That size is for the Kubota LX series:


But I realize that doesn't include the front bucket. Let me figure out how much that adds to length.

Was kidding about SP500 just using it as a proxy for opportunity cost. I also want a pickup with great mileage. Like a 4 door Taco hybrid that was built for MPG not towing.
 
If you didn't pay to build those yourself it's not really an even comparo.
No, I didn’t pay to build them myself. They were built over a hundred years ago.
It does seem like adding more trusses, in a line with the others, is the cheapest way to add space.

And all of a sudden all your expensive shit is stored inside.

My most recent counter proposal was 28x34.
Looking at that sketch I can tell you right now that’s not enough space. You might be able to jam everything in there but you won’t be able to move around, let alone work on something. The implements should live outside under a roof over concrete so you can quick attach and detach. You don’t have enough space in that proposal to store much beyond one implement that’s already on the machines. You’re gonna fill your garage up with exhaust and probably smash into something when trying to hookup as well. Our tractor lives outside under a pavilion that we built out of telephone poles. We bring it in to the garage and turn the heat on before a storm so the hydraulics and engine are warm and ready to go. This frees up our garage space to work the rest of the time. My next storage solution I will timber frame myself from trees that I harvest from our own property with a mill that I bought myself. So, your right, there’s no comparison.
 
I'm glad you are enjoying yourself. Love to see a pic of that 5 car garage.

That would take the fun out of it huh.

I'd rather stay with 28 wide. Are you saying I must have more width, or can I get by with more length.

I like the idea of warming up the garage to help the diesel start. Is 40 degrees enough or?
