PSF snow load code for in town is 140. And while out there, it would be needed to push snow around with.

Is "6 miles south of Covington" still really 140 PSF though? It ain't exactly the same as the Keweenaw.

I would be looking into a metal carport. For 3-4 grand you can have one delivered and erected for you (once you can get a truck driven to the site anyway). The metal carport folks wont promise 100+ PSF, but you can take the gamble yourself and probably be fine.

i have no idea what the snow load code is, but those prefab steel tubed garage packages come with a whooping 40 psf. We already had one bid with 120. Lets say we saved some $$$ and left it at 80, then it caves in. What would we be saving?

If all you want is to protect the tractor, get a 9' tall sea container. Secure, take all the snow you can pile on it, relatively cheap, easy and QUICK.

If you are going to have a tractor on hand, why do you need someone to plow a parking area?

I can speak for a carports durability up there when I was building my cabin up there often I'd drive in with 3+ feet of snow on carport roof, parked an old 20' camper under it I Stayed in when building, definitely saved camper roof from caving in still have and use carport it's pretty easy to move around with a tractor or 4 wheeler or at least It was for me. I paid a little extra to get 8' walls. Despite code all I've ever used is rerod anchors ie stakes, easier to remove than screwin ground anchors. Plus I didn't need a permit for it cuz it wasn't permeant cuz it's movable. Going on about 15 yrs it is starting to rust a little. It's located near lake Superior so it can get windy.

Thanks for sharing. Kinda neat but google often knows which parcels of land are state/federal forest and colors them in differently, so we can see the exact outline of your rectangle on the map

You can store that tractor at my place Arly. It’ll have to sit outside though I doubt it would be low enough to fit in my shop. In all seriousness it can sit outside for a winter.

It looks like a great place, if it all works I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

I've fished Worm Lake. Didn't catch anything but it looked pretty fishy!

I think if you can maintain plowing it with your 6x6 or your 700 he left you all winter cuz you live nearby you can diy it after snowfalls. However if you let it go your hiring someone with a d8 cat to open it up lol. That drive in is a mile you have to plow? Or is there parking before the mile trek?
