@@TractorTimewithTim Oh, no way Tim! My job takes me to many different parts of the country and what I enjoy most about your channel and the residents of Indiana are the honesty and integrity you both have. Keep up the great work!
Today I went down to one of our local recycling centers and purchased 25 Plastic Pallets for $5 each. I am so excited about getting rid of all of my old rickety wooden pallets that are only deteriorating with age. No more worries about flats from pallet nails. Nice setup, very jelly!
Tim for the ends for the doors flaps here is a suggestion. We took galvanized or fence tubing and made hinges on both ends attach to both corner posts. 2 horizontal swing out gates 1 2 feet off the ground the other 5 feet. Put pin in middle for locking . The outer cover will now not blow in and provides horizontal and vertical support for the ends. Great video
You finally bought the screen shelves I told you about 4 years ago lol. Congrats I'm glad you finally bought them makes life a lot easier storing stuff.
Ahhhhh.... Closure! Getting all those nice attachments and trailers weather-sensitive electrical and hydraulic bits under cover at last. The best episode ever for all A.R. TTWT fans everywhere!
you will need to anchor the legs down to prevent the bottoms from kicking out. install some type of x-brace top to bottom on the backside to stop the racks from falling over like dominoes. add extra section of orange shelf about 2ft-4ft down on the backside to help lock the legs and prevent the legs from pushing apart. pouring a concrete pad under them would be the best way to secure and ensure the safety of the shelving. look at the deflection of that top shelf.
I was anxious during this whole video due to the fact everything is just sitting on 2 X 12's. That is super scary to me. As mentioned above I would run at least one more shelf beam near the bottom to keep the back of the legs from moving. And X bracing on the back between every column (1/4" cable with BIG turn buckles tensioned pretty tight). You need some lateral bracing or you might get the dominoes mentioned above and that could easily kill someone. Remember... We comment because we care.
I was so nervous also. It urgently needs cross bracing at the back of each shelf otherwise they could all go down like dangerous dominoes. Be carefull tim. Great show. Awsome to see all the attachments!.
Ditto on the nervous and on the main good idea of an extra section on the back. I’ve used the consumer version of this racking from Menard’s for years and have always found putting extra sections on the back helpful in adding stiffness and strength.
💥 What a great system you’ve devised to make storing implements much easier and keeping them out of the weather. Bobby sure came in handy! Hi Christy 😁👍 *Keep on tractoring!*
Man, what a beautiful solution! And all the toys! Love the videos Tim but every time I watch I feel like buying something 😉 Now off to search for pallet racking!
It’s coming together nicely and the storage solution sure helps. I need to re-evaluate my storage situation. Also appreciated the review of the equipment as you’re storing. Blessings!
I have to admit, that is a pretty sweet collection! I bought my Johnny last May (2019). I can’t quite say mine is a Johnny inspired Johnny as I stumbled on your channel after I was already considering a new tractor and wanted to see what I could do if I decided to get a 1 Series. But I can definitely say I was convinced that buying a 1 Series was the right call after watching a bunch of the videos on the channel. Well, a year and a half later and I have 10+ attachments and 3 12’ sections of pallet racking in my barn to store it all on. I was blessed to have a 36’x50’ barn on the property when we bought it 20 years ago and am definitely putting it to good use now! Thanks for all the great videos and ideas you’ve given the community over the years. I hope y’all had a great Christmas! God Bless!
I'm in Australia, and here it is a breach of OHS to erect pallet racking with a single set of rails, we must have at least two levels in the racking as that ties everything together. We must also pin or bolt from the rail to the uprights so that a careless operator trying to lift something cannot raise and release the rail above where they are working and create a situation where a rail or material on that level can fall. We must also have uprights securely bolted into the floor so in that situation and with pinned rails, the same careless operator cannot cause the upright to be lifted by the pinned rail. Also noted that when you placed the Artillion grapple with Bobby, you lifted it into place with the forks under the upper rail of the grapple and extended the boom to get it up there, my guestimate is that that the point you used to lift the grapple is about 20 inches above the mesh on the rails and you only have an couple of inches of lift reserve with the JD loader. Suggest that you check that you can get JD loader between the mesh and the grapple somewhere to lift it down while you still have Bobby, otherwise you might find it stuck up there when you need it.
Those 4 in 1 buckets are good for spreading and grading soil. I've seen them being used on a skidsteer. Go forward and skim the soil, back up and open the bucket to spread, then back drag to smooth.
Really enjoyed this video, Tim. Really nice shelterlogic high tunnel to protect your gear. Quite interested to see how the end doors are installed. Was a bit concerned about that heavy Baumalight mulcher on top shelf. Am looking at the 348. Have fine weekend. 👍🏽🙂
An implement for nearly every type of job. It’s good to hear your reviews and opinions about them. Those will influence my buying decisions and thus make your sponsors exposure in real world settings. Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR
Thank you for showing your shelter coming together. Having moved into our new to us home two weeks ago, our garage, work shop, and storage is a disorganized mess of boxed, but we will get it nice and organized like you did over time.
Over Time. That is the key phrase! It takes time. Don’t hurry it. Just a little progress at a time, eventually it gets better. We are two years into our move at this point! Still not where we want to be!!
I've been trying to figure out who you remind me of --it's Tim Conway from The Carol Burnett show😮. And that's a compliment. I bet you can do that slow old man shuffle.👏
Another project done. Nice to see things get put in the big shelter. You have acquired a lot of attachments and now they are organized. A thought for the ends of the shelter would be to frame it out with wood and install sliding doors. It would resist the wind and be strong. Just a thought. Great video as always Happy New Year Bruce from Mason Michigan
Tim, don’t know if you ever heard of them before but look up clamshell tents. We use them as helicopter hangars overseas with the Army. The ends lift up with a pulley system. Maybe you could incorporate this type of door into your shelter. Have a great day!
Hi Tim. It was very enjoyable to see all your "toys"; a very impressive eclectic collection! To address the flapping ends of the hut, I would suggest burying some 6"x6" pressure treated lumber level with the ground (so you can drive over it) where the hut ends would touch the ground. Then install some recessed latch points into the wood so you can attach hooks and springs to secure the end wall's grommets. The springs are important to have because they allow for distribution of stress in the vinyl caused by wind. A variety of recessed connection hardware can be found in marine supply stores, as these types of things are often used on the decks of boats/ships where you don't want to trip over a protruding object.
I would put some "soft caps" (not sure thats the right wording) on the top of the railing so the tent wont snag on them. Also maybe some angle braces to keep the shelf's upright especially since you can not mount them into the ground very well. Next test 80mph winds. :)
In addition to the rear cross bracing straps or cables mentioned in other comments, you might want to consider drilling some 1/2" holes in the 2x12s and driving some 1/2" x 2' or so rebar stakes -with an L bend on the end if possible- down through the 2x12s to pin them to the ground.
Something I was thinking to protect your canvas. In the event you were loading the shelving and pushed it towards the canvas. If you took something like foam pipe wrap and opened it and put it on the top with wire ties to the vertical stands closets to the canvas. It might save poking a hole in it. Just a little thought. 🧐
Id like to see the 4 in 1 bucket on some bull dozing tasks like gravel or dirt or something like that. And trying to spread material with opening the clamp.
I would put a few in between so you don't accidentally poke an attachment through. Whether shelter logic vinyl or metal, you'll put a hole in either one,!
Great job getting the yard and equipment all organized and cleaned up Tim! I am sure you'll be happy having them all sheltered and organized going forward. Thanks for taking us through the work involved. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas - all the best to you for the New Year!
Yes the ends of the shelterlogic are a problem . I recently put up a smaller one , 13x20x12 , and realized it needed improvements . The zippers on the door opening end needed extension rods added , I used wooden dowels, so I could open it all the way from the ground . I also made a 2x4 frame for the inside of the zippered end to help with supporting the door opening . If I get a strong southerly wind the door really pushes hard against those zippers . The door on mine does roll up but you better hang on to it if there is any wind . I also replaced all the plastic pulleys , that come in the door kit , with with metal ones . It works good now but those zippers are doomed to failure .
Great progress on the shelter logic building! You might want to put in some reflector posts along the edge of the arch where is meets the driveway to avoid mishaps with a plow or snow-blower when it's covered in snow. A Merry Christmas to you and Christy and your whole family. I'm really looking forward to spring and back to your gardening episodes!
It's great to now have your implements stored inside on shelves! You may have to add a row of the orange beams closer to the bottom, along the back side to stabilize the legs to prevent the whole racking system from possibly folding over if it was accidentally bumped by a machine loading or unloading etc.
I run a feed warehouse and have racking mine are rated for 5,000 per section and most times only have 4,000 to 4,400 on each section and get the same sag have been doing for 8 years same racking never had any issue also have same sag issue never bent or broke any beams. Looking good. the big sections put the light in the middle and heavy on the ends by the uprights.
Hello Tim. I keep a lot of distance away from anything touching the shelterlogic fabric in my shed. With ice and snow the fabric bends in and then, in the wind, it can rub. Really nice set up. Congratulations.
I added a solid bar in the bottom of my Shelter Logic door and added my own pulley and rope system. It works very well to just roll the door up. I do make sure to try to do it neatly and minimize wrinkles so the material doesn’t fatigue and tear over time. I’ll be happy to store all of your attachments! 🤣
Tim: Really enjoyed the clean up, straighten up. I have an observation and a suggestion. You already know that your shelter will tear easily with power equipment. You have a lot of accessories In there that with wrong move can easily say hello to the sides of the shelter and not with a friendly tone. What about mounting 2 foot by 8 foot plywood sheets along the back of the racks. It might take a little extra effort but could save the shelter. You probably already thought of this but I didn't want to be that guy that didn't speak up. Sorry I didn't think of it sooner but didn't realize how much equipment you have. Thanks for listening Bob PS every bible verse you have at the end is very appropriate.
Very nice setup! I have attachments at my house, my grandparent’s, and my Dad’s, it’s hard to remember what’s where. It would be nice to have everything in the dry and well organized. Hope you all had an awesome Christmas.
That Shelter Logic building is pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing how you handle the open ends. You have lots of great equipment to put in there. Merry Christmas a few days late!
on my rhino shed which is like the shelter logic. i used bungee chords attached to the structural pipes, hanging down at the height i wanted and added grommits to the doors and i just hook the doors to the bungees and they are up out of the way with just a quick hook. i just tied the bungee to the pipe and use the grommit with the hook on the bungee. i do not have to roll the doors up at all.
You got it right the first time! Pronounced (pick-own). Although Piconey is part of one of my nicknames. Looking forward to coming! Loved this episode! Been waiting for it since you cut down that tree to make room for it!
Can only imagine getting all your stuff inside is a big deal I'm sure you feel much better. I know I hate leaving things outside!! Drive me crazy. I have trailer setting and rotary mower out!! Ugggg don't like!! Keep up the great stuff guys!! Thank you again!
I'm a little surprised that you don't have a hitch that can go on the loader to be able to put the batwing in that spot, they work great :) Love your videos, so glad you are able to follow your passion. Ever think about renting out some of your attachments? I would be interested in a few items for some jobs around my farm...
I think you should build on the ends of the shelter a Pole Barn rolling sliding door barn wall. You could extend the track/frame to it towards the property line side. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family.
You need at least 1 horizontal rail along the bottom on the back with an X brace connecting each vertical upright. Those brackets on the horizontal beams are not designed for the lateral stress when someone bumps the rack sideways.
That looks like my pallet racking, except mine is bolted together. The 5” C Channel 13’6” long is rated for 5000lbs per shelf. The 4” C-channel is 4000 lbs at 8’ lengths. I wish I had bought some racking though.
@tractortimewithtim for best results and added security add bolts and nuts to the beams would be 100% safer. I put these up and take down weekly definitely would put some in
Hey Tim! I wanted to follow up with how the implements are doing in the shelter? Oxidation? Rodents, issues? I’m not ready to build a barn but I am collecting attachments and need some options. This might be a good temporary (couple years) solution but want similar protection as my garage. Thoughts?
Hi Tim, please show more of the 4-in-1 bucket preferably used as a dirt pile picker-upper and loading into dump trailer and testing how much weight it can handle, thnxs.... ps. you might want to test distance in between racks with Johnny2 with rear ballast to make sure there is enough distance to put up and remove attachments, from the perspective of the video, it looks really tight.
Once you use wire shelves you won't go back. Those are LONG spans but in the grand scheme of what pallet racks are made for, implements aren't that heavy. I haven't yet watched your vid on why short forks, but I much prefer 42" forks. 36" just aren't long enough for standard pallets. Move your heavier pallets closer to the ends.
I agree with the X bracing along the back just use some cable and turn buckles just to be safe its worth the cost for safety and security IMO also now you have more room for more toys
