I'm in the same boat for storage, for now I bought a 20X30 super heavy duty tarp from Harbor Freight for $85 and a few ratchet straps for my 530CK
This is my Carolina Carports barn I ordered in May 2020. I have been very pleased with the construction and end product. I ordered it with 14' side walls on the center section and 9' on the outside walls. At 15' they make you have a crane on site. I did the site prep and leveling then laid down a 4" layer of crushed brick for the floor.It’s going to be warm enough here today to get the Case moving and warm up hyrdraulics and grease everything, just hate to do it before a rain but may not get another chance for a while. Looked at garage and trying to figure out a storage are on side with a shed type roof.
Just can’t wrap my head around the roofline with 2 knee walls on each gable end.
Actually looked for pics and ideas yesterday and found nothing like what I’m thinking.
I did have a mishap in 2016 with a bulldozer. I did stupid & pushed a dead white pine 2 feet diameter breast high. Top was gone from a storm years earlier, not a single branch. It took a bit more push than expected & the whipping 50 feet up caused the top 4 feet of trunk to snap off. It landed on the hood & smashed my air cleaner. Lesson learned!
Makes it difficult to get the stump out if you were meaning to cut near the base.Why not use a chainsaw first? Chainsaws compliment heavy equipment very well.
It has 27 screw type anchors and about 18 rebar anchors.That is Very Nice! How did they anchor it to the ground or did they have to?
Cut it as high as you like, anything to help keep the top from busting out and killing ya.Makes it difficult to get the stump out if you were meaning to cut near the base.
WOW! Highest wind here was 68 mph. Neighbor's trampoline flew and put a 3' round hole in my 10X12 alum. shed. Told me he wasn't paying me a F'n dime because it was an act of God. I told him God would have been smart enuf to anchor it down....It has 27 screw type anchors and about 18 rebar anchors.
Supposed to be Florida certified for 170 mph winds.
Yeah, on that tree a chainsaw would be a good choice, didn't have one handy.Why not use a chainsaw first? Chainsaws compliment heavy equipment very well.
That argument doesn't apply for neglect. If a storm blows an otherwise healthy tree over from a neighbor it applies. IF the tree was diseased and the neighbor knows about it before the storm they are liable. Or so I'm told.WOW

Plus all the weight of the tree top pulling on it once you get it leaning a little helps a lot. If you cut it off 10' high you lose the gravity assist....a healthy tree trunk makes a Hell of a lever to pry it out.
My first paid excavation, I offered to also remove a very old stump also.Drilling holes, stump remover after 3 years, might as well be water.
Read a story on a forum, could have even been here, many beers since then.
Dug out stump, dug deeper, buried it, 20 years later no depression in ground.
I think I'd shovel in air pockets before filling for added insurance
In FL, as the tree crosses the property line, it becomes yours. Therefore it is YOUR tree that hit your house, not the neighbors.That argument doesn't apply for neglect.

There's an exception... A clear hazard like a dead tree is the responsibility of the property owner. I got a neighbor (in Georgia) to remove a dead tree threatening my house with a letter informing him, copied to my insurance company. As I understood the situation, after paying my claim, my insurance company would go after the neighbor for compensation... using my letter as proof he was aware of the hazard.In FL, as the tree crosses the property line, it becomes yours.

Bite your tongue...LOL woulda been a bunch!!hey ! coulda bin snow!
