[AT] New tractor shed

[charlie hill]

Ralph,  in contrast our ground here is frozen for the first time in a couple 
of years and it's not even winter yet.  Of course it isn't frozen deep and 
won't stay that way but it's frozen just the same.

Dan I know you will appreciate having your tractors under cover in the
shed. Mines the same, just a clay/gravel floor but plenty good enough
for my uses.
We have the same problem here with unfrozen ground. Anywhere I push snow
I have to be so careful of the blade will gouge into the ground. Never
seen that before in winter. The heavy snow came before the ground froze
and now its insulated. I even hit unfrozen patches in the field where
the tractor sank in the mud today.
