Took me from when I bought it on 4/15/03 to get my LT 40 under cover.  Somehow I made my dream become a reality! 8) 8)  Got all the equipment (AKA "tired iron") first and built the pole barn to suit

  .  Pretty tight fit but it works.   

  Hope to get the rest of the siding/doors done before the snow flies.  All the best, Rob.

Lookin' good!
If you were here, you would have already missed getting the siding on before it snows. It's snowing now.  :(

May be tight, but it looks like they're gonna stay dry.
I've got to get started on ours this winter.  Hopefully, this will be the last winter that our iron will be outdoors.
The planned size keeps growing...30X60 now, built to add on later if needed.

I can pack mine in too, but always want out the one that is in the back of another. As well as climbing over 'cause it's too close to slide by.  ::)

I like when precipitation falls straight down, as I'm in the same situation... Unfortunately, it rarely does...

Nice building 78.  And nice straight poles.

Nice storage barn, always nice when you can keep equipment under cover when not in use!

Nice bunch of equipment!  8)

Just curious:  How come one foot is down on the mill log loader?

Guys, thanks for all the comments!  Chuck White: one leg down on hydraulic loader because somethings screwed up--push one down, other goes up!  Haven't had time to look into it. brendonv: only two--the third tractor is a Case 695, you know, for variety ;); ely: if I don't get this done soon so I can do much needed repairs on my own house I may be living in the barn, or so says my wife :D; Alaskales: you can never make them too big!  Magician: you won't grow up MM, you're too young at heart!
All the best, Rob.

They are hydraulic. 

Not a hyd guy here, but a guess: It would only be an issue with the loader arms raised -- the control valve for loader leaks back and one of the two arms' cylinders fades under its weight first (perhaps the other one sticks a little), and since they are in parallel and not solidly mechanically ganged, pushing one up pushes the fluid into the other one, pushing it down.
