I don't have electrics in the garage yet but I do plan to put in a sub-panel sometime in the future. The garage is about 100' from the house....uh-oh.. guess I'll need that backhoe attachment now.
My guess is an after market block heater might help some with cold starts but if not maybe a space heater ? ....jeez...now i have to think about putting up a ceiling :laughing:
I was at a local auction two weeks ago. A nice 3pt backhoe attachment went for $1300. I thought of bidding on it. I also need to run electric out to my barn.
BTW two sickle mowers sold. A NH brand for $1250 and a JD which looked very heavy duty, like it was off a good size tractor, sold for around $650 +or-. Both looked in VG condition.
This winter do some tractor shopping, on a cold day, and see how well they start after sitting outside. My Bobcat w/ a Kubota motor starts right up in the cold. My NH TC40D needed glow plugs in the summer. A good tractor in Florida isn't always good for Maine.
