Have you considered using corn burners? I have an insulated pole shed (160x60) that I heat using 2 corn burners. I put 3 bushels of corn in each and they heat for 2 days-the building stays at around 60 degrees. These units, on high, will kick out 170,000 BTU each. So, if I need to warm up the building quick - I just turn them up. Heats up real quick.

Best thing about it is that when my fuel supply (dried corn) is getting low - I just call up the local feed mill. They deliver a load for $10 ... and corn is under $2/bushel.

The units which I use are Golden Grain out of Colorado. This is the 4 year that I have had them - no problems...

I have a 7274 Cub Cadet w/loader and cab. Excellent tractor..starts well in the winter. Only problem that I have had with it is the starter not engaging when the key is turned...this is very erratic...other users have identified the a solution for this (it is listed in a previous posting). I mow 5 acres with my Cub and push snow in the winter...really like it.

I just purchased a Yanmar YM155d - I believe it should be very comparable - for $3400. This is a 15hp tractor and it also had a newer 3 pt rear mount finish mower. I did call a number of people before I purchased mine and tried to find values. There doesn't appear to be a solid book value on these tractors. The ballpark price that I could find on just the tractor was around $3500. My Yanmar is a 15hp with 4wd...I hope this helps...
