We're talking about putting up a machine shed. But in the interest of saving $$$ on labor, we figured we'd want to build it ourselves. Additionally, since this may be an ongoing job over the next decade, we figure that we want to know the proper height and width in advance (for ordering posts and trusses) but we figure we can always add to the length. Now, it would appear that our smokestack on the 1086 and the top of the graintank-loading-elevator on our 550 Massey come in at around 12'6" or so, so for what we have now, 13 feet to the bottom edge of the roof is sufficient. But I'm wanting room for expansion. So how tall are the more modern combines and tractors? We want to have enough clearance to handle those too, without digging out the floor later. So, we're thinking about 30 feet wide or so, and 13 feet from the ground to the top of the door or bottom edge of the roof. Are these figures unreasonable?
