I've owned the same model for many years now and it has been fantastic and trouble-free. Have experimented with different grind sizes and now have them dialed-in for cold brew, drip, and espresso. Worth every penny, new or used! (y):coffee:

Keep it simple: a quad in each corner and a dual at each wall midpoint and maybe an extra dual near the door; all 15A. :)

Keep the very nice horse barn and build a new shop to your specifications. You'll get better ROI when you eventually sell the property if you have BOTH a shop and a well-built horse barn. After all, you are (will be) in horse country... Good luck!

I love their old beer cans, and have visited the old brewery at the amazing Hotel Emma, but, truth be told, it was pretty bad beer in the 80’s. Much prefer Shiner or even Lone Star. 🍻

Anyone need a cold one from 1955? :beer:

Access to dealer service and parts is a key consideration. You can’t go wrong with either a green or orange tractor, esp. since they have been in business as you say for 15 years plus. I own a 20-year old Deere that I can easily buy parts when needed. Good luck and have fun with whatever you choose!

Sunco has a good selection of high-bay lights with 5-7 year warranties. My Sunco's are only 2 years old, so can't offer any perspective on longevity. https://www.sunco.com/collections/ufo-high-bays Good luck!

Nice system! Curious about the pump and pressure tank setup you use. And, what do you use to clean the water for drinking?

Yes, I have one connected to my workshop, house, barn. 16,500 gallons worth of water storage. Used for irrigation. Designing a rainwater system can be a complex task depending on what you need it to do for you. Here's a good place to start: https://rainwaterharvesting.tamu.edu/ The Rainwater...

That Progress cone top is nice! Still have it? I collect Texas and Louisiana beer cans and have been thinking about adding the very few Oklahoma cans to the collection.

Only two platforms: Red (M18 Milwaukee) Green (Ego) Each color has plenty of compatibility to power whatever I may need... :)

Just had a 30x36 red-iron Mueller building built north of where you are located. Some suggestions: Consider adding a 12 foot lean-to on the west side as a means to add shade/rain/vehicle hail protection/extra work space. Concrete or gravel under it. A lean-to really opens up the enclosed space...

Just purchased this and really like it. The magnets are super-strong: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JQGLJ1G?tag=atomicindus08-20 Klein Tools 29601 Magnetic Power Strip with Surge Protector, Extension Cord, 4 Outlets, 3 USB Ports, 5-Foot Cord, Power Supply Box with Light, PowerBox 1, Heavy Duty

That seam is similar to steel beer cans from that era.
