    Slim, When I did the insulation on my Morton building I purchased rolled insulation from them. It was (I believe) 6 inches thick and it fit exactly between the posts.

    Remotes mounting on FEL?

    Tom, I ran two lines from my rear remotes to the front of the tractor to run my FEL snowplow. I ran the hoses from the rear remotes under the tractor and came up the left side of the loader arms as I had more room on the left side.
