New tractor, new home.

Well after a 7 week long wait they finally showed up to put up my carport for my new Kabota B2320. They sent a couple of illegal aliens to install it and I think it was a first for them. But before that I had to have a tree removed so it would fit. Here are a couple of pictures of it. I did not get any of me spreading the rock for the floor.

2nd post due to unable to load more pictures.

Here are a few more. If anyone is wondering about why it's so green out back of the yard it is because that is a lake. They drained it and are trying to kill Salvania that has inhabited it for the last 3 years it has been down for over a year. We have not got enough rain to refill the lake so it's only about a foot deep down about 4 foot in this area.

Very nice. What size is the carport & how much did it cost? Tks.

 

[jimrs]

It was bought from a local company but it is like the carolina carports, with the exception of the price it's a 18X21 and total with tax and all it was $1033.00 If I had know how long it was going to take them I would have just went with the carolina carports for about 700.00. I ordered this on June 2nd and was told I would have it in three weeks. It has been a little longer than that.

Is that carport tied down? It would not last more than an hour around here before it would be in the next town.

They use rebar and thread it on one end and drive it into the ground there are 4ea 4ft long on each side. I have always wondered around here we get some healthy winds too but everyone's carports stay put for some reason.

That should work fine. Just see lots of things blown away if they are not tied down.

I went to tractor supply and bought some screw in anchors and added them "just in case"!!

Looks like the same crew that put mine up 2 1/2 years ago!!:laughing:

Crews do look somewhat the same except I only had two, father and son. They lost their a$$es on this one they installed the roof wrong and had to take it loose and move it to one side. They were here from 8:45am to after 2:00pm. They said they had two more to do today. They did learn a lot doing mine. It was 102 in the shade and they were wore out when they finished.

I got one of them too. same color scheme even, except I closed in the sides and ends.

If I had to deal with that white stuff I would enclose it too. Looks too cold to be out on the tractor.
