I'm new to the tractor world and loving my BX24. I'm in awe of your tractor skills!! Is there any how to manual illustrating all of the different techniques you used? Amazing how much you guys just seem know how to do. The problem is that for a newbe none of this is second nature. Dumb as is sounds there are lots of times I don't know when to drag or push. I feel like theres money to be made in a real "how to" video, defining terms, explaining different techniques. Basicly showing you what you can do with these little jems. I've found a couple of short youtube clips but nothing that really hits the spot for a new guy with a new toy.

A quick and relatively cheap storage option for a B26 is a 20" sea container. I bought a 20 footer and the B26 just squeeks in. I did have some interference with the FOPs bolts but I took two off. Even when I installed chains in the fall she still fit. The whole tractor will fit both in length and width. From the time the low bed showed up to when I drove the tractor in was all of 30 minutes.

A seacan is also a pretty secure storage option. I installed four high security padlocks and being the paranoid that I am, I also installed a puck lock. You do have to ensure adequate ventilation as you can get sweating and things will rust. If you're in snow country. you should also raise the seacan off the ground on 8" X 8" treated posts so you can open the doors in the winter.

I put on a hip roof, vinyl siding a door and windows. I didn't have to but I'm in cottage country and I wanted to keep the neighbours happy.

Well we ALL learn something new about running equipment everyday for people have a knack for running equipment and some people just don't have it. I myself grew up always watching how the pros ran equipment on job sites and then when I could afford it took a heavy equipment operator training course to get the paper that said I was certified to run heavy equipment. As well as getting more seat time and one on one time with people that have been running equipment for 45+ years so they know what they are talking about. I have seen ads on the net for dvds to teach people how to run equipment but in the real world nothing beats having one on one time with someone that has been on equipment all their life and lots of seat time starting out slow and safe, and with time the speed will come.
