B2601 so far has started well down to 10-15F, I haven't had the need to start when colder than that. BUT I still need to install the block heater once I get power in my outbuilding. I usually give it a 3-5count on the glow plugs then fire it up and give it a little throttle above idle and give...

I wanted to solve for bringing my sand/salt mixture up and down my driveway so I grabbed one of the simple carry all frames from TSC today along with some hardware and grabbed some leftover 2x PT wood that I had stacked out back and boom....simple sand bucket transport. I looked into the fancy...

Ordered up a Tractor Caddy Tool Box from Ask Tractor Mike.......sure, it is a little speedy compared to some other options but it is exactly what I was looking for and I like the ease of removing it and putting it back on when required. Always struggle for a place to quickly put the chainsaw...

Same experience with this concrete crap pushing. Ended up taking half cuts and still needed to stop and ram every 50'. Still better than walk behind blowers !!!! lol

I guess officially we got 21" here and it was heavy and wet. Power came on at 3:15am this morning so out almost 24hr......good workout for the whole house generator. I want to check my propane level as I track it fairly closely so I am curious as to what ~24hrs burned at the actual load we...

Got ~18" of heavy wet snow here in NH the past 36hrs or so. Two rounds of using the B2601 with the blower and back blade.....today was messy, add in some downed trees and power outage and the chainsaw and whole house Kohler genny are all earning their keep today. People wonder why I have all...

Those bars lasted about 1 hour of use on mine before I removed those. I did have to work through a safety pledge before I did however..... "Self, are you dumb enough to ask someone to put something in that chute while you sit on the tractor and keep the PTO going?"........I answered 'No' and...

Today was more of using the B2601 as the expensive wheelbarrow it is.....lol. More trips from the garage up the driveway to the Morton with "stuff". Built up two shelving units. Since the Kubota will live in the Morton I moved all the fuel, oil, maintenance items etc. up there, moved...

Moved some hay around that my wife had sitting in our garage......had the forks on so might as well. Then while I had some extra eyes here at the house for the holiday, my buddy and I moved the Winnebago TT from the side of the house into the new Morton Building, I move it around with the...

Solid suggestion......... Honestly I wasn't supposed to be involved in the pour etc. at all, this was going to be a "just write the check for the guy" type of job. Then when I checked on them I sensed a high degree of urgency and they were kinda pissed off due to the change in mix they didn't...

Well.......we finally got here. Cement floor was poured today......it had some wild moments but overall it came out well. The second truck evidently mixed in more calcium carbonate than they should have so there was a little "urgency" to some of the work. There was also about 2 yds of cement...

Heck of a good point. I have the battery pack an didn't install it as I didn't want it to just die due to no charging capability, might look into a solar charger for short term.

The mix will have fiber. So we're on it !!!!

Update: Friday the overhead door was installed, came out great. Until I power the building it is "fine" to manually raise and lower the door, no big deal. The Liftmaster opener is already installed and just needs to be plugged into a power source. The even bigger news is that I was able to...

Looks great. I hope it does well for you

After a couple decades of marriage at this point, I clearly have learned to pick my battles. The fact that she was "excited" to have this new Morton out in front of the house (long 600'+ driveway) was a good thing, if she wanted control over the colors.....fine by me. That is clearly something...

Fair question...... On a Morton Standard building they use their "Morton Galvanized Stilt Support System" with Redi-mix concrete. So, 48" hole, galvanized support and channel, PT lumber nailed into channel with stainless nails, cement around that and then soil the last couple feet. While we...

They used them but they are buried just below the grade............ Yeah the 2601 was the first thing in. Ram 2500 is next to it now. I can't get too crazy until the floor is done in the Spring but for winter we are going to try and cram our travel trailer in there as we are trading it in for...

OK, time for an update. Building was delivered in September, and they just spent the past 4 business days assembling it. Everything is now done with the exception of the overhead door (next week) and pouring a cement floor in the Spring. Very pleased with things, always want bigger but.......

Site work has been going fairly well. Although I cringe every time another dump truck of clean fill comes in......lol $ Bringing things up to the driveway grade. It will be nice to not see the neighbor's house at all once the building is up along with the solar and landscaping.......
