The man said it at the end... "Build it bigger".... Our shop is 30'x30', we have overhead parts storage on one side, and a steel rack on the other side wall. A lean-to on one side is 20'x30' for more storage, oil, furnace fuel, air compressor (4 cylinder Imglo, looks like the one in this video... We have another on a service truck also. The lean-to is also used for extra work space.... A bigger shop would be great 😎😁
Would you have considered having it much bigger but less cement? The cement floor is a huge part of the cost, seems like if a guy is on a budget, it could be nice to sacrifice some nice cement floor and just have an area of it for tools and basically shop area, and then a bigger space with just gravel or small sized crushed rock or something, so can fit a lot of machinery inside. I’m looking at building one on my farm, but not sure what is optimal. Can’t decide, something like 40x50 with all cement floor, or having an insulated area sectioned off, connected to a larger gravelled area, for combines, sprayer, bobcat, etc. Could then make something like that 40x120, and wouldn’t even need to insulate the bigger gravelled area...what are your thoughts?
@@JT-gi8rx it would be nice to get it all done at once, but I know people who have dirt floors, but a nice warm shop. I had a shop in town with a dirt/gravel floor, it works!! Concrete is best, much nicer to work on, great for floor heat.. but roof and walls are a must! For us, it is so wet in the winter, gravel and dirt are miserable to work on. Concrete can always come later... @Straightpipeacres has a nice shop with a dirt floor, being in a drier climate, it seems to work well.. he plans to put concrete down at some point.
Narrow front 6000 series Allis in the back ground. That’s a rare tractor

You can't build 'em too big, but you can sure go broke building 'em.
GREAT STUFF DAVE AND POWERFUL CREATING 🙏🙏.... Are you still out and about doing stories??
Great vid👍a nice big workshop to work on farm machinery, I would use car lift jacks to raise n lower items off mazzanine floor instead of crane.
