I'm making a left turn to the other half of the video, the OTC cab and storage. I have the one for the 2032R and it bolts to the upright ROPS. I MIGHT be able to get in the garage with the cab on but not with the ROPS up. I have height in the pole barn so I figured to put the pulleys there. I explored taking the cab off intact and spoke to the folks at OTC where they are always helpful. He suggested the screweyes on the top bolts for lifting so I put some on the last time I put the cab on. As I put the cab together I looked at what I would have to undo just to free the cab for lifting. Mounting points on the bottom of course. Then there are the attachments to the ROPS and behing the ROPS lights and the top in the back. Frankly, I decided it was almost as much work to take it off partly put together as just taking it apart. When I factor in my limited storage space I decided to just keep it as an annual kit. Never got around to putting it on this winter and didn't miss it as the winter was so mild compared to those a few years past.
I like the cab for winter use, but I also like the open seat for the rest of the year, especially when I use the BH.

If we all liked the same things and felt the same way, wouldn't life be boring?

I haven't seen all of Tim's TTWT videos, on some the particular topic didn't interest me much. I may watch them later. He is earnest, engaging, tries to be complete when comparing, investigating, or explaining and does a pretty good job, tries different tasks and reports results, and passes on tips as he discovers them. Plus he and his family do a good job with the videos themselves.

Like most hard working successful people he is expanding his range getting different machines and implements, adding to rather than replacing, the ones he has. Include the loans of things to make his evaluation and his contribution is significant and appreciated. Many of the videos don't apply to my situation, but they do apply to someone.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Tim has to make another storage building in a couple years to house more machines and implements, and decide he can only use the 1025R on every other Tuesday so he can spread his time. The only way to have all of Tim's videos apply to someone is if they have the same equipment and tasks.

Oops! Just fell off my soapbox. I probably sprained something but won't know what until tomorrow.
