    Rainwater diverter recommendations

    I was really hoping to be able to use the corrugated due to the cost factor, (a 290 foot run approximately ). If it matters I have about a foot 20 foot drop in that 290 feet not counting any head pressure at the building itself.

    Rainwater diverter recommendations

    Thanks for the thoughts! I was hoping to keep debris out by having a course leaf filter. I have looked at some diverter‘s that have them. As far as silt is it your thoughts it would enter at the gutter in the form of dust, pollen and wind blown small particles that will form the silt?

    Tire spacing and front snow blower?

    I have a 50 inch wide front mount snowblower on my B7100 and a 72 inch rear scraper blade. I know my situation is not exactly what you're facing . Even with the blade angled it still will knock snow down from my nice cut snowblower edge. As I suspect your concerned about leaving a nice...

    Open faced tractor shed project

    I will be having a gutter put on the back side for sure as I plan on collecting rain water into a IBC tote. I have one with a 8 x 8 metal roof on a different part of the property that I use to collect water and find it to be useful. When I calculated out the surface area of the back half of the...
