Just added a pair of wheeled scaffolding to my 12’ x 32’ shed. Does allow for handy shuffling of attachments. I bought pairs of furniture dollies and screwed 50” to 60” decking planks between them for my 56” tiller and 48” box blade. Also bought a Heavy Hitch wheeled stand and attachable dolly wheels for my 54” belly mower (thank you for the discount code). Oh, and Peter’s Dollie’s for my FEL. The waltz of the attachments.
I just recently purchased three sections of that scaffolding to support an A-frame that I plan to use to pull a pump out of a well. I've been brainstorming about what to do with the scaffolding when that project was complete. Now I've got some great Ideas. I appreciate the quote of scripture at the end. That one really spoke to me. I did a screen capture and added it to my screen saver rotation. Thank you. I got a brief glimpse of what appears to be a mini-split air conditioner installed on the left wall of your garage. If that is what it is, the shelf above it is severely restricting the airflow into that unit. The ones that I had installed required 6-8 inches clear, above the unit. So if you're having problems with the efficiency you might look into that.
I just realized your video is 5 years old. My guess is you've either already modified the clearance for your a/c unit, or it works just fine like it is.
I broke down and picked up 2 of those scaffolding racks on wheels from Northern Tools for $149 plus taxes each I have a low 8 foot ceiling 2 car garage with one 8 foot door Not much room for all My implements I was able to put My 5 foot Box Blade on one and My 5 foot Rototiller on the other ( But I had to put this one all the way down ) I parked the rototiller at the back wall then the Box Blade right in front of the Rototiller,and took My forks off the Lift Plate and put them against the wall I put My Brush Hog and Loader Bucket on the Tractor and backed the Brush Hog under both of them, but the wheel on the Brush Hog just clears the Rack against the Wall I originally bought Pallet Racks to store implements, but the scaffolding works way much better Thanks Again Tim, and thanks to Your generous wife for letting You fill Your Toy Box with neat stuff Ken in Florida
Tim always hate it when a video ends.. I get a lot of enjoyment from your videos. I’m glad you and your family are willing to share with us the toys you’ve been blessed with.
Yepper know all about the 12x20 getter-by Shelter-Logic. It got us by until the concrete floor metal building was possible. The forks and bucket still stay out but between HD shelves, scaffolds and dollies, I look back now and say Thank you Lord for the blessing.
It's great to see how people store things as most of us are struggling with the same issues. I just bought two of the 10X20 Shelter Logic tents. My plan is to cover each with a tarp, and change that tarp every year. I saw a video and the way the guy used the tarp was very neat and looked good. Not making it tight is important as I found out on a smaller Shelter Logic tent. Very appropriate verse at the end, the more you have, the more you things you need to take care of the stuff!
I’m a Kubota man myself but I love watching your episodes. Always good info and useful regardless of type and color of the machine you own. Thank you for putting these videos together.
As someone without a backhoe for my Johnny, I’ve been intrigued by the front hoe bucket attachment. I’d like to see that attachment in action😁 As far as storage goes, having attachments/gear stored in a way that allows them to be easily moved around the shop is such a blessing! You all are certainly making the most of your space. Nice work!
Thanks Tim and Christy for answering the question of where you purchased the pallet racks and I really like the idea of using the yellow scaffolding that can be moved around. This gives me a good idea of how to situate the floor space in a building. From watching your channel I have seen many implements and tractors and mini excavator coming into the family and finding room and storage appears like a tough challenge - a nice problem to have but we like to take care of our equipment! Thanks to the both of you for sharing your adventures with us and providing such a wonderful methods of using and providing insights of what would work best for the given situations. You both are appreciated! I too am a retired software engineer from Lockheed Martin.
Yeah those pallet racks are great. Those look identical to ones both my dad and my grandfather had in their respective warehouses. They were old when I was a kid in the 90s haha. Love that shop set up
And thank you Tim for putting these fun videos for us all to enjoy and get ideas ourselves and also for the inspiration for me personally to Upgrade to my own “Johnny” this winter,keep the fun coming
I got the same problem here to … My machines are a little bit bigger. But my barn is far from ideal for placing the things like you do. I do not have a concrete floor, and because of that I can't use a dolly to move my equipment. Otherwise I would do it just the same like you show us. It's always nice to see your eyes go to twinkle when you talk about us, your viewers. We like you Tim and your family.
Hi Tim, you have great ideas for storage the pallet racking is an awesome way to get things off the floor. I am lucky my dad lives only a half mile from me and we used to farm so we have a 60x100’ pole bare that’s where I keep my tractor and dump trailer and all the attachments for the tractor. Pallet racking for me will be the next step for some organization of attachments. Thanks for some great ideas as always. Jeffrey Misch
You all have a very full tool shed... I am going to show this to my wife so our garage does not look so bad in her eyes, maybe I will be able to squeeze 1 more implement out of her. lol Thanks for sharing, you have some good ideas there!
Tim...Heavy duty casters on the bottom of pallets. Also, crutch bumpers, or pit pats off of crutches on the front of your pallet forks while they are stored will save your ankles and shins as you are moving around your equipment.
I recommend a Genie Handy Lift, I’ve used one for years it will lift up to 1000 pds up to six feet off the ground and works great in a small garage, basically a hand crank fork lift and they roll around on wheels, they come in different height’s too ...
I love my Artillian fork/bucket caddy!!!. It's wicked easy to roll around and is very stable. I also bought their caddy for my J.D. ballast box which is a real toe saver!
What about 40ft. steel storage boxes (Lockable for security purposes) . They make a canvas roof, where you can use them for the side walls and have a pole barn space you can service equipment. get the hi-cube and you'll have a high ceiling and the wind won't blow them away,,,, if you get some please name them ying and yang or Left and Right
At 5:15 you talk about storing your backhoe. On "A Tale of Three Cabins" channel, he used 1x4's to connect the 2 furniture dollys to make one, more stable unit to move his backhoe around. If you have time, check out his channel.
Love that old Mack jacket , makes you look younger when you put it on in the the videos lol! Hey keep getting bigger might have to put a ramp into spare bedroom 10-4!
MooMan86 - Bigger is always better if you can afford it and have the room. I have a 30x70 barn, a 30x30 barn and now I need another 30x40. I wish I had built a single one that was 40x60 to start with. It would have been cheaper in the long run.
Really enjoy your videos.especially for the last week or so as I’m 78 and I fell on ice on January 1 2021 and tore my rotator cuff. Now I watch them when the pain won’t let me sleep thanks again for the great videos
More like a 60'x80' shop is needed. Lol. Maybe even go as large as 90'x120'. But you would need an acre (or more) to put a shop on for storage and room to turn around with a trailer.
Some good ideas for storing your equipment. I agree with you, I like to keep the gear covered. The Shelter Logic tents work well, but they tend not too last too long. But are very cost effective!!!
Good stuff Tim. I like how you have your implements stored. I need a bigger building for my stuff. I think the wife might let me have the whole garage again this winter,but like me she's getting tired of scraping snow off the vehicles. Hope to get me a pole building before long.👍👍👍👍👍
Another vote for pallet racking. Great tip on used pallet racking dealers. I ended up buying mine new because the local used racking was the same price or more expensive than the used! Also just a note be sure to level them and bolt them to the floor. It would not be any fun to pull over an entire rack if something catches on a shelf lip.
My guess is you have scratches on most of your attachments. I am still feeling bad about my loader bucket. I need more space. Love the racks you have great way to store multiple attachments.
Tim I have the same problem my company has out grown the space where we are I need a larger building LOL. I think it would make a good video to do a project of building a storage piece for Johnny's Backhoe. Also I want you to know that you and your family are a blessing to me as well I truly have been blessed getting to know all of you through your videos. Have a great weekend. God Bless!!!
For the door opening at the bottom get yourself a 1/4 or 3/8 hollow pipe about 6 inches wider on both sides of the door flap to put in the end of the door it gives 2 functions when the door is rolled up nice and neat and helps keep the wind from ripping the door to shreds
Hey Tim. The BXpanded backhoe dolly is a great value and they have one for Jonny. I have one and I got rid of my homemade options as it is much lighter and easy to store when the backhoe is in use.
Tim you got a great Compaq little tractor you and Christy pick out a great name 👍👍so every time I see a John Deere1025R I think hey it Johnny brother or a cousin's
Tim, speak to your finance committee about having a local building contractor install BARN STRETCHERS on the side walls! It will give you a tractor load of extra storage space!!! Tim @ Cliffside Acres
I use 2 New Haven furniture dollies for my backhoe but they have the heavy duty casters on them. Now in my case they where are free to me because they got left in my trailer by somebody that I have no idea who, because I haul office furniture. They work beautifully because they're higher quality then Harbor Freight dollies. If you want to check them out go to New Haven.com but be warned they are a little expensive. But you can also get some decent casters for the ones you have fairly reasonable. They are a soft rubber tire on a 3-inch for a 4 inch wheel. The height solution for your pallet rack to get Johnny's Forks up a little higher I use a good set of car ramps and run the front wheels up on them. You can get those plastic ramps that are pretty strong and easy to move around at O'Reilly's or even Walmart and they aren't that expensive and pretty durable. And some of them even stack on each other. Just some thoughts to help yea Tim
A manual pallet truck would be ideal for your storage. They are worth their weight in gold. Backhoe on a pallet, the pallet truck could manoeuvre that weight as though it were weightless. 👍
Just checked out green talk. Found a dolly for the 260 or 260B backhoe made by BXPANDED.COM. Since I really am not set up for fabrication, and the reviews were solid, I’m ordering one.
Parkinson's Law -"An organism expands to occupy all available space. Example: Add more book shelves so that you have more space... in a short while the bookshelf will be full!
Shelter logic has different grade fabric coverings. Most are the cheap ones that last a year and tear. The expensive coverings cost much more, but last damn near 15 years.
When you broadcast your seed do you use a rake to go over them helping the dirt to cover it up that's what my job was after my dad spread it he got a good idea to join 3 rakes together on a 1x2 so that cut my time in half an then spread the straw afterwards to help keep the birds from getting to the seed .
Tim, after having previously seen all the tractors, and in your showing all the implements, these treasures, and where they are stored up, the scriptural passage you selected for the end of your video was a curious choice. ;-)
Well, it is a reminder for all of us. Earthly treasures are worthless for eternity. This scripture is a reminder to us as well as to our viewers. It is VERY easy to get caught up on materialism. For us as well as for many of our viewers, right??
Is there a sign on the shed that says "TIM'S TOY BOX"? If the shed were taller I would suggest a drive on lift that Vinny could rest on and Johnny parks under. The drive on lifts have wheels, too.Maybe there's room, I can't tell for sure. I've seen many hotrods stored this way. You always have a thoughtful Bible verse at the end of the videos and I look forward to them. God bless and see you on the next one.
Hi, I like the video. What are the dimensions of the used pallet racking (How wide are the shelfs and height?). Great idea, I'm glad I found your video. I like the size for the attachments, I just want to make sure I get a good size.
idk if they make them but my New Hollands bucket dose not come off and have considered some of the clamp on forks...i trust your channels judgment more than anyone else on the internet next to Blake so if that ever comes your way id be happy to see what you have to say!!
Since you can't add any more foot print to your property how about going up and raise the roof. Put in a dumb waiter to get the attachments up there, even a half story would be good. If your looking for help to put up the shelter logic let me know when the barn raising is
