I pray you never get that sucker stuck (with no reverse option from your PTO drive), update with some hole progress.

I keep hearing about the side man door, i think i'm going to do that. Will update if that happens. Thanks for the compliments.

At some point your max shop size is set, be it money or lot size or what ever....I reached my max size at 50'X80' but wanted some open air cover etc...thus the extended roof. My original 'max shop size' was 40'X60'....with an extended roof, you see what that turned into, so we have arrived at...

STOP!!!!!!! 😭😉

I like that idea. Hadn't actually thought of that until just reading this. Always worried about weather 'tightness' and security but i think a man door might be something i pursue (thanks!). Climbing off the back isn't too terrible on the 62, it's big enough that my gymnastic skills don't...

Here is a picture of the Shop Front Elevation. It shows the shipping container on the left side, that's just what I was thinking when I drew that up, it may or may not end up there.

It's pretty easy to swap out stuff and load/unload but yeah it's a little bit of a process. I can drop off the bucket where I park inside or drop it at the other doors where I store the pallet forks. With the forks I can grab both top pallets (one at a time of course) and I can just back in to...

Yep, great way to save precious floor space. Some of my thought process was also to thwart easy theft. The class II implements bring the weight up quite a bit so it's not like 2 guys can just run up and grab one and throw it in the back of truck or trailer (boxblade is ~1200 lbs, grapple is...

I had an absolute rain forest in it when i put the tractor/boxblade in it with snow and mud. This shipping container only came with 4 vents (2 per side). Plan is to put 6 more vents (3 per side) and a solar roof fan to help with moisture and summer heat. This part of Idaho gets very little...

And here it is with everything loaded up (M62 TLB, brush cutter, box blade, grapple, hydraulic motor/augers, forks etc)

Shipping container with shelve installed and a peak at the 2 pallets for the grapple and brush cutter (those pallets are ~265 lbs a piece!)

Thanks for the welcome! Yeah, that bandsaw is nice.....wish i got to use it more but when projects like this come up i drag it out and set it up, so nice to cut with.

This shipping container was a 'one trip' as well. It's pretty nice, hind-sight probably didn't need one this new (virtually brand new condition) but I didn't want to gamble with the more 'used' variety, i've seen some real trainwreck storage containers. I'll try to take care of it so it takes...

Yeah, she's a tight fit and I have to climb off the back down the outrigger steps to get out. I could back in and then climbing off the tractor and out around the front wheel would be easy but would still have to step over the FEL bucket. I really like the open cab for visibility but i'm sure...

Yep, Idaho is quite different northern side vs southern side. I like it all, grew very fond of the open desert stuff. The gravel pad is temporary so didn't want to put too much $$$ into it. I stripped all the topsoil off first, only about 4-6" of topsoil, then it's mostly clay. If the clay...
