    What cellphone carrier do you use ?

    We use Spectrum mobile which uses Verizon towers. $30 a month unlimited text, data and talk. Had them for 3 years and very pleased with their service.

    Storage of Attachments.

    Harbor Freight carpet dollies. I have many of my implements on them. https://www.harborfreight.com/18-in-x-12-in-1000-lb-capacity-hardwood-dolly-58312.html?event_id=183280

    Do You Have a Tractor Shed/Barn?

    Two years. The second winter collapsed the tent under heavy snow that turned to rain. Harbor Freight special!

    Tires and traction for Zero Turn Mowers...Solved for me anyway.

    I have the AT101's on my zero turn and love them. They were 10X better than the turf tire it came with. If they are not available, the first three you listed look like standard turf tires. I was very unhappy with those on my mower. I would go with the IA-8028 or look at Carlise AT489's.

    Nearly died yesterday

    Glad you did not get hit. Guardian angels hard at work. I’m a first responder and we had a 45mph vs 120mpg head on accident. This was the Surburban that was doing 45. The elderly couple lived with minor injuries. The young man driving the car at 120 did not make it.

    What to Look for in Zero Turn Mower

    I started with a new 46" Craftsman lawn tractor. Paid $2500 as I recall. Have over 500 hours on it but it took 6 hours to mow my 5 acres with lots of trees, a 1 acre pond and 2 acre field. After 5 years I upgraded to a Hustler 54" Raptor SD zero turn. Paid $4500 for it. Cut mowing time down to 3...

    Do You Have a Tractor Shed/Barn?

    Yes. The blower is light, 450 lbs or so. The chipper is more of a load, 950lbs. We put the blower up on the shelf yesterday. Chipper will come down in the next couple of weeks. My Montana tractor front end loader is rated to lift 1600lbs to full height. Not sure I would attempt that. At 950 lbs...

    Do You Have a Tractor Shed/Barn?

    We built a 30x40x12 barn and the tractor shop is 13x30. I store most my implements on a 12’ wide, 12’ tall pallet rack. It stores my snowplow, snowblower, chipper, rototiller, forks, bucket and grapple.

    Attached GARAGE (homeowner) thoughts

    We have 8x8 doors in our garage, and my 2022 Silverado 1500 fits with 3" on either side of the mirrors. We have 9x9 doors in our barn, and the 2020 Ram 2500 with towing mirrors fits with 2" on either side. We fold the driver's mirror in to make it easier. Next garage or barn gets 10' wide doors.

    Truck Size to transport

    That is nice of NM! In CT you can't tow over 26,000lbs without a CDL. Does not matter that you are towing your own stuff and are not for hire. The only exception to this is RV's. I have a friend who is a CT State Trooper and works CDL Compliance. We were looking to buy a 14K trailer or upgrade...

    Replacement metal roof....best method

    I have metal roofs on several barns and outbuildings. I would not put the standard imperial type roof with exposed fasteners on a house. My barns have a few drips from screw penetration when it rains real hard. No big deal on a barn. You definitely don't want that happening in your house. I...
