Mecheng, nice job indeed.

If I may offer a suggestion, based on past experience. If you plan on extending it out to the right, take that steel siding off in that area and replace it with plywood or stronger. There is a natural tendency to put things up against (or accidentally bump) the back wall. No use screwing up perfectly good siding, just move it out to the new exterior wall.

Best of luck.

The siding is painted steel. I bought it from a local shop cut to order. There was hardly any cutting and little waste. Makes the job go fast. Last year the price was $1.27 per running foot to cover 3 feet wide. No charge for cuts. As with any siding project, trim adds a lot of cost too.

If you have enough strength in, or it's not too late to re-design the roof structure, and you have enough space hanging a PHD is a good solution.

A chain over a rafter and through the boom with the 3pth up high takes most of the weight when the 3pth is lowered. It also makes it a LOT easier to put it back on later.

A common solution around here is the 'poor man's' overhead crane, sections of barn door track lag-screwed or bolted to the roof trusses, with two sets of trucks (wheel sets) holding up a block & tackle or chain hoist. It makes moving heavy objects or loading & unloading a pickup a LOT easier.

Best of luck.

I bought a trailer (as in tractor/trailer) instead of a storage container and use 1/2 of it to store my Kubota 3830 with ROPS, loader, and rear attachment. It is 45' long x 8' wide x 9.5' ceiling. No room to work but plenty for storage. About $1800 delivered - instant building. The dealer here in TN has dozens to choose from.

I got an aluminum trailer instead of steel to avoid rust problems and put it on five or six PT 4x4s resting on gravel. They remove the wheels so it is ground-level access. The floor is laminated hardwood on steel beams and plenty strong enough for the tractor. Locks securely and keeps the tractor out of the weather.

BTW, I don't think the standard steel shipping containers are tall enough to take the tractor with the ROPS raised.
