Dave Mowitz heads down to Edina, Missouri, to visit a feature-filled Top Shop. Bobby Huffman has created a shop that is chocked full of great ideas, including many access doors that allow equipment to enter on all sides of the structure. Huffman also installed padded floors in a work area that makes working on the ground much more comfortable. Mowitz also attends an auction on Steel Deals in search of a Bobcat S770 skid steer loader. These machines hold their value for quite a while, and you'll be amazed what it goes for. You won't want to miss seeing the adjustable cattle runway on All Around the Farm that was inspired by Temple Grandin. Finally on Ageless Iron, we visit John Zekovec and his great Oliver 2455.
