Filling the new tractor shed

AKfish · Jan 19, 2009

Good job on the equipment shed, flusher. (And you're doin' just fine on fillin' it up, too!)

I started on my equipment/hay shed this past fall... well, I got as far as gettin' the pad done..

(There's always next year, right?) Wait a minute -- this is NEXT year.

Flusher, if you have a hitch on the front of your tractor, you may find it much easier to back a piece of equipment guess due the view you have.

Hard to have enough shed, so planning is important in fitting equipment. Be sure to put the piece you know you will use the most in the back. Oh, that is wrong but for me regardless the one I need is that there.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a pretty stout radiator guard on that Mahindra 5525 and could weld a hitch there. And the FEL is pretty easy to detact/reattach.

I put the sicklebar mower so I can get to it first to mow the hayfield in April or May (assuming it ever rains again around here). Ditto the JD rake. With the sicklebar removed from the shed, the baler is easy to get to.

I've staked out the jobsites for two more 18x27 ft all metal sheds that I plan to build this year next to the one in the photos.
