TN60, TN70, TN75 with cab/4wd owners I need a favor

[LoneCowboy]

a really easy one
If you have ag's or preferably R4's on your TN series with a cab (and 4wd)
Can you measure how tall to from the ground to the top of the cab?????

I see the numbers in the brouchure, I want real world.
Getting ready to have a steel building put up, want to make sure it fits thru the doorway

thanks in advance

Go with at least a 10' high door and don't worry. The TN height is going to vary depending on what size tires you have. I can pull my canopy TN, cabbed 7710 and friends cabbed TN inside my barn with 10' doors.

I know
but 10' doors are WAYYYYYY more expensive than 8' doors

how much more expensive could they be? take an 8' door, buy an extra pannel or 2 and some more track...

what am i missing?

a 16ft by 10ft tall door is 2000 dollars
it's commercial, not residential and it has to be much stronger to take the weight and the wind.
plus the building has to be a 12' building instead of a 10' building
makes a big difference.

Be sure to look at all the details of the door hardware before deciding. I don't see how 8' walls and doorways will work. Overhead doors don't open all the way and need additional headroom for the curve tracks I think. I have 10' sliders and even they lose a little height from the track cap overhang. Consider the floor height too if you're going to pour one.

I do not know how tall the TN would be if you put 24" tires on the back but there is no way the TN will fit in an 8' tall door. My barn has two 9'x8' and two 16'x10'. I can park the 1920 in the small door but the TN will only fit in the big doors. I will say this, the taller the door the more options you have for the future. Once you build a short building and put in short doors you are stuck with them. I regret only putting in 10' high doors on the large side of my barn. The next barn will have 12' doors as my hay racks are 11' tall.

well
i've called the dealer i'm ordering from
he says 7'6"
the brouchure says 7'8"
the guy at the local dealer says "oh, at least 9'"

of course, nobody has one to actually go measure
and of course, nobody has the same numbers (which amazes me)

I think i'm just going to wait until the tractor shows up.

What size tires are you getting on yours? I know with my overhead doors they do not always stay all the way up so you will lose a couple inches of door height from slack in the springs. If you have 24" tires you may be fine but I would still go with as tall a door as you can.

I have AG tires on my Cabed Tn70 The tallest part is the exuast at about 9 foot 4.
