Backyard Shed for BX Tractor

[zoltanthegypsy]

We don't worry much about snowdrifts around here, so we took the open-air approach. Added the tractor shed when we built the boat barn.

As said up-thread, build big and (maybe) avoid running out of space. This seemed enormous when it was done, but look at it now. We need a shed for the shed.

That is a really nice building, yes it looks like your maxed it out.

I wish! Probably more in the range of this size.

Very nice design. Love the house-like overhangs. You don't see that much on outbuildings around here.

Had these folks build me a 14x28' A-Frame for a workshop no tractor storage.

I have more pictures of it being built if you are going to build something let me know and I can post them and answer any question you might have.

Yes, I for one would be interested in pictures of the building process :thumbsup:

I have a Bx2360 and many attachments that needed a shed/barn. I wanted a little shop to work in and a safe place to store everything, it ended up being 12x32' because that's what size roof truss I got for free. So I made a 12x16 shop and a 12x16 barn. The barn has sliding doors on the front and end.

All the attachments go in from the front and the tractor is driven in from the end.

I stick my Kioti in a shelter logic SUV garage.

How's that ShelterLogic working out, Looking4new?

There are some beautiful, spacious buildings shown above, but here's my thinking.

My BX and now B2620 have been mostly under tarps for the past 7 years. I've used my two car attached garage to do maintenance and occasionally jockey my truck outside for a few such days. Lived here for 40 years without a nice outbuilding. But now I decided to get a ShelterLogic just large enough to get the Kubota out of the weather.

I decided that to build something large enough for all the other "stuff" would be too expensive and too much work for this old man by himself.
So, with no code or tax complications I've graded a level area, packed it with the truck, laid a 6 inch gravel base and have ordered a 12x8x20 shelter. The B2620 with a FEL and rear blade will fit with 4 feet to spare in length. It's just for the tractor (ROPS down) and that'll have to do.
Cheers,
Mike

So what did you wind up doing? Is the shed built?

We built a 16 x 24 shed a few years ago, to store our small runabout in. Then came the JD mower, the JD rider, and now the BX25D, plus implements. A giant shoehorn implement would be very popular! The 'Bota booted the boat. For the first time it's wintering outdoors. The tractor and implements lived under tarps for the summer, it was very dry anyway, but with foul weather bearing down, I had to figure out how to keep the metal dry and accessible. I had some scrap PT left over from the fence project and some more PT I repurposed from the original shed ramp (to short for backing the boat in easily). Built a rolling rack that stores the landscape rake, post hole digger and assorted other gear, allowing enough room underneath to store the snow blade, hitches, loader bucket or forks (one or the other is always on the tractor). Looks like I have some extra room on top to fill with something!

What it looked like when built: Barnyard Sheds out of Ellington CT stick built it on site to my plan.


What it looks like now: I added the deck, chicken coop, chicken day run and a longer ramp.


Interior, 1st floor: Snug as bugs. Ready for anything mother nature throws at us.

Implement storage: 4 x 7 Rolling rack made from scrap PT. Heavy duty shop cart under the rack handles the 60" blade and either the forks or the loader bucket (whichever is not on the tractor). I pick the rake with the forks and set it down outdoors when I need to hitch it. The large casters on the cart make it easy to pull out and spin around for whatever tool I need.

Your shed looks great. Mine is underway, I just have trim, fascia and soffitt to finish. 18x20ft and concrete floor. My brother said "You bought a Kubota so you could build a shed for your Kubota?"
