You just mentioned all my favourite local spots all in one sentence! Feel free to drop by here anytime - let me know and I'll give you directions, I'm right on the Wallace River. Well, not ON the river, right beside it!

Thanks for the offer I may not be able to take you up on it anytime soon however... we have a new little one due any day so i'll likely have my hands full for a little while.....

Ya know if you would have left it at 7 ft you could have justified getting a new barn to put the tractor in.
I just love to spend other peoples money.

Yeah. That would also give you seat time clearing a place to put the barn. Excelent idea Wedge.

There's hope yet - I know I can't fit a canopy on as things stand now........

Wedge40.... my sentiments exactly!

When I build my pole barn, I specked it out to build a RV-8, 11' ceelings. Now that I have a 23' sail boat in there and the tractor... the cars got moved out.... I have a need for a new one... and the plans are for the same 11' ceelings and move the sailboat out and have room for all the new implements

The car and truck will still have to fight for space.....

keep in mind if you have the tractor out and get mud/snow on the tires you may loose some of that clearance..

Believe me, even now I drive through the doorway verrrrrrry slowly every time!

 

[chrisdvorak]

just make sure you don't have any rocks or anything stuck in your tire tread that might pick the tractor up a little more and cause disaster

I saw this post and just had to respond with ME TOO!!

I designed the outbuilding for my bike shop and a carport for my van. I have a garage door on the front and another out the back for access to the woods. At the time I had a Ford Econoline and 8' was plenty of headroom. Then we bought the Sprinter and as you can see it fits, but because of the slight angle leading up to the building I can't back in, just drive in forward.

Just got my first tractor last weekend and I put this photo in another post. You can see the van in the back, and also roof clearance in the second one. The day we drove the van home Tina was up on a lader, as I inched in for the first time. Taller tires look like a bad idea.

And somehow I even talked the little woman into it too. We found a nice spot just out side the back door that is not very level, that will be large enough for our small camper with the 1523 right next to it. The project list is building, literally!!
