He was in good enough shape to physically out work just about anyone 20 years younger than him. He and I were also beyond close, working on the farm is made even more difficult because of that. The farm was always "our" thing, but now it's just me.
Bleeding internally from the aorta is what he died from, but the lawyers have asked me not too go into specifics about WHY Dad died from this common treatable condition.
I didn't know this until after Dad past and my estranged uncle (Dad's brother) came to help. Dad's father also died of this condition, but was the first person in medial history to receive the stent they use to fix this problem. Reason Grandpa died was because it was an experimental surgery in an emergency and they couldn't restart his heart after the procedure. But the stent held.
Anyhow, I digress.
The 40x80 is going to be a pole barn.
I'm pretty much committed. I've started the permit application, found a builder, found a dirt guy, cleared the area of tress and will be starting dirt work as soon as possible.
With the 40x80 the heavy indoor material handling will be done by my 25,000lb capacity forklift and I'm planning on buying another small forklift. I'm planing on parking the 40ton truck crane next to the front door to unload a semi or act as a yard crane. The 40x80 is not going to have an overhead crane, I may make a small A frame/gantry that rolls on wheels. Before we got the big forklift, I started building a 5 ton capacity one.
A 14' door wont work. The little combines I've got, already have 14' heads. I was planning on having a 30' opening in the end walls that went all the way up to the base of the trusses and then either having large swinging doors or sliding doors.
I'll clarify the 40' wall dimension a bit. That was for the shop Dad and I were going to building. That 40' would have been to the base of the roof trusses (flat angle iron trusses). This was going to be a VERY heavy steel building with two 25ton overhead cranes
I wont be able to build this building right now so forget I mentioned it. But I will do it eventually as I have the majority of the materials and equipment do to so.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
