The eight foot high section of the building is 40 X 48, with three seven foot doors. The sixteen foot high section is 24 X 48 with a fourteen foot door. The total square footage is 3072. It also has a one bedroom apartment in it. Due to the seven foot doors none of my tractors will go into the lower part, so the JD sits outside this winter, as the other side has the motor home and the NH and Kubota. There would be no room anyway for the tractors as there is a sidecar rig and a ultra, also 40,000 pounds of potatoes along with assorted workbenches and tools.
Will have to put up another building on the new property next year for all of the implements that I am started to collect for the farming end of the farmers market. This would include a cooler and processing area.
As far as the backhoe parts go, the only thing I have needed was a cable for the back lock on the hoe which was broken when I purchased it and a oil filter. My gripe is you go to the web site for JD and look at the prices and then go into the store and the prices are higher plus they add freight to the purchase whether you want the parts fast or not. If you call $30.00 for a three foot long wire cable with a barrel end and a loop on the other end expensive you are right.
