I'm wondering how those of you heat your garages. I cannot imagine heating my garage and looking at my energy bill. Energy must be cheap back East.

The previous owner installed a regular house type 80,000 BTU oil furnace in the attic of my garage, I only turn it on if I am going to be working in the garage when it is cold outside. The temperature inside the garage seldom goes below freezing even when unheated. If I kept it heated all the time it would cost at least $100 a month for fuel - more than I am willing to pay.

Well, even though no tractor stuff goes in my garage I do have a heated 3-car garage. When I built the house 3 years ago I wanted the garage to be heated. I put in an electric heater with thermostat control. It's mounted up high with louvers and fans directing the air downward into the garge. The temp is controlled with a simple rotary rheostat thermostat. Pretty basic. Really not much more than an electric heater like you'd buy at any home improvement or department store but mounted up high in the garage designed specifically for heating garages, workshops, etc.

I thought you guys like your tractors?

My tractors are in an unheated barn. All implements outside except PHD and whatever is on the FEL.

Building new house so by November '07 everything will be outside under tarps including me if I try to put my tractor in the garage .

But hopefully I be able to start the new barn this summer or at least get one of those metal carports for temporary cover.

So that's, what, three of us who store outdoors? I'm not sure what to make of that figure. I guess the three of us have underprivileged tractors. The poor things. I'm starting a fund for underprivileged tractors. Only you can help this unfortunate situation. A small donation could make a big difference. Make your checks payable to me, or Habitat for Tractors, and I'll start the process right here at home by building my tractor a shed. We can do this; one tractor at a time.

Inside..unheated shed.

Inside insulated garage, not heated unless I'm in there. My car is outside, my wife's car is next to it, she won't park outside in winter so she uses up my precious garage space!

 

[Wesdor]

Just about everything inside. Am putting up a 36 x 64 building later this month to give things an even better home.

BX1500 & FEL inside the 2 car garage next to my wife's car. My 1997 Jeep Grand Cheeroke with 180,000 miles on it.....outside. Tractor is worth more. Both the BB and RB stay outside unconverd.
