There's a standard, of combines and other equipment, can't be higher than 12 foot high, (maybe that's an old standard) the machine shed is maybe 12 foot and 6 inches, so your combine will fit in your shed.
Except the previous owner added a grain tank extension. So my new/used 1660 won't go in my shed.
I want to remove the extension. I've decided I value the ability to put my combine in the shed has more value to me than having more capacity when combining.
Question: How do you remove a grain tank extension? After you remove the bolts, how do you lift it off? No one's front end loader goes 13 foot high.
I'm thinking about: Find a tree branch that's just right, drive under it and use ratchet straps to raise it off. Might still be a project to get it down from the tree.
What do you think? Have you ever used a tree branch to lift something off a trailer, etc?
How heavy is a grain tank extension? This one is 8 foot wide by 8.5 foot.
Thank you!
