New machine!

[BIGTOOLRACK]

Took delivery of a John Deere 4052R with the “snow cab” today! Nice machine. Looking forward to heat and A/C! Replacing my Massey 1742. View attachment 4543935

Wow!!! That’s quite an upgrade!! Beautiful machine and what a beautiful barn!!!!

If you do go with chains, and I suspect that you’ll need to, look into putting rubber stall mats on your epoxy floor. I have the same floor in my garage that I put 4 x 6 stall mats from tsc down for my Argo and for my snowmobile, especially with the carbides. I also use them in front of the entryway since they are easier to clean than the rough surface of the epoxy. Love the timber frame shop. Not much of a deere fan though

Sounds like the general consensus is we don’t care about your new tractor as much as your nice barn.

Heads up … make sure that left hand glass door is fully closed when pulling into the barn. (Ask my why I mention this )

Well, at least he won't be banging his cab on the header!

Nice Ride. Check all fluid levels first, especially the Diff's and RTFM. Read the ...... Manual.

“Heads up … make sure that left hand glass door is fully closed when pulling into the barn. (Ask my why I mention this ) ”

So, I’m not the only one! Luckily I caught it in time and only put a NEARLY (except by me) unnoticeable tweak in the door frame.

Now its time to invest in a set of tire chains. Both my tractors are bigger/heavier that your beauty but they are helpless in a heavy snowfall without chains on the tires.

I recently took the 4052R through my field with 20 inches of snow in it and it just chugged through it without a problem.

Like others I also noticed the nice looking shop along with your new tractor. I’ll show my ignorance on bigger JD’s, is a “snow cab” an option or is that just what you call it.

Snow cab was a term the dealer used. I had to have it serviced already due to a leak in the heater core. It’s fine now.

I think we've seen some pictures of your barn in the past. Minor intererior pic iirc but enough to make an impression.

That was the barn at the house we sold to our son. It was a very nice barn though it is stick built with rough hemlock. The new barn is three years old and is true timber frame with Douglas fir.

I have an anti fatigue mat on the floor for the FEL bucket.

The barn is very nice.

How much snow will you be clearing? Any attachments besides the loader?

TConnolly - that's an understatement, the barn is fantastic, the framing detail, lights - no wires, then the cars really add a lot of character!

Then your loft area - all very nicely done, Thank you for sharing!

The cars belong to some friends of mine. They brought them over for a photo shoot for the builders advertising. It was fun!

I’ll use the 4052 to move snowbanks and haul sand for sanding the driveways. We have four driveways to tend to. Longest is 500 feet. I have a JD X738 4x4 garden tractor with a 47 inch snowblower that I use to move the bulk of the snow. Just did 17 inches with no difficulty two weeks ago.
I also bought a 6 foot Frontier bush hog, JD pallet forks, and a three point wood splitter when I bought the 4052.
We have a number of other attachments too.

Not sure why I keep duplicating my photos. Anyway this is the barn loft with my little sitting area with my Yamaha stereo and my Large Advent speakers from the 1970’s!

 

[Carl_NH]

Very nicely done down to the pegged flooring! I have 4 of the same Advents as part of an older audio system in my office.

How is your "barn" heated, as there are no ducts evident?

If you do a lot of snow removal, you might want to consider a Rear Pull Snowblower. Perfect companion to that tractor

PS, you had me at Advent Speakers
