Bought the one fruit bin from a guy in a neighboring community. Like Wolfman says, hard to find around here. Wish I could get more. Also, I did find local used ISO tanks/frames for $25 ea. Fairly ugly but the firewood doesn’t care.

AL A, nice! I did something like that a few years back but can only wish it turned out as well. I’m going to re-work it this winter. You have any trouble seeing the fork tips as you load? I’ve wondered if one might cut away some of the SSQA plate to see through. I’ve thought of just disabling...

I’ve had a fruit bin around for years I’ve used for shuttling rounds in from the woods and moving split wood under cover. Strapped it on FEL forks but that doesn’t work well. Today bolted it to a 3/16” Titan SSQA plate. A VAST improvement plus a little weight savings! I hope to add tool holders...

D2, thanks for the great post. I got to admit I moon over these every time I see one but I’ve hilly rough terrain. Seems that might make it tough lining up for a cut, and you’d still have to climb off to clear them away. A feller-buncher setup could be nice but that’s an invitation to find me...

Hey, where in Idaho? I’m in the north, Hayden. John

I’ve a B7100 also. I’d like to see photos of your blade if you’re inclined. Sounds interesting.

An idea, I hang a 24-48 inch wide shelf from trusses about 8 ft up. Use 3/16(+) inch aircraft grade cable. Put my work benches, tool boxes, & parts cabinets under; good place to mount work lamps and air lines. Keeps the floor clear of posts. Don't be crazy though. Hi-cube lighter stuff is...

D2cat, you're right, strictly speaking I'm using narrow building blocks not pavers. I'm pretty sure there's anything I'll do that'll break them, they're robust. I suppose I could pry them out and replace if I had to. We've been getting some fairly wild snow/melt/freeze here lately. No heave so far.

Part way through building a 22x40x16 ft shop; man door and 10x14 ft big door. Initial floor is 8x16x4 inch pavers on gravel; will do concrete later when the weather is better. Electric service 220v 90amp. Went 16 ft tall to accommodate a pending houseboat refurb but otherwise not too excited at...

JeffL, might you post some photos of the clutch replacement you spoke of. I've a similar situation. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments. The heaving question is a good one and I've put some serious worry that direction. Really good drainage out from under the floor and 10 inches plus of gravel is hoping to address the concern. We'll see. Wolfman, you're in my neighborhood so I'm listening!

Building a 22x40 pole shop in N Idaho. Lost control of my timing and got into winter with no floor. I’m not willing to pay the big $$ to get a contractor interested in coming out to work in the hinterlands. After a lot of surly stewing I concocted Plan B. I found a discount building supply to...

Torch, really great fotos. It's a great help. I've the snow thrower type that was powered from the front (crankshaft) pto via an electric clutch, now long gone and reasonable cost substitutes nary to be found. Been thinking direct from the mid-mount pto now like yours. Also, I'm intrigued by...

Some nice looking work going on here. I've both a B7100 and a B2650, I'm getting inspired! Curious, any reason not to fit posts from the forward canopy corners to the loader or some other strong point? Doesn't seem it'd much impede views and would be a handy grip for hauling my old bones in...

NtRe: Raising the dead. Torch, some inspirational work you're doing there! I've a B7100 also and an old Kubota snow thrower but thinking of converting from e-clutch/belt to pto. Might you share some fotos of your pto arrangement? Thanks, John.
