Storage

[MoccasinGap]

I do not have a proper storage worked out for a tractor. Any suggestions on temporary storage until I can afford to buy it build something. Thank you.

Despite what many here post, most people store them outside, in the open. They are farm/AG/construction equipment after all.

I suppose I would try and cover the operator controls and the stack (if upright) to protect from rain. Good Luck!

I covered mine with 10x12 heavy duty tarp over hood, controls and seat until spring when I can get better storage setup. My bro bought a shelter logic tarp shed until he builds his barn.
Edit to add: During my commute, I pass by an older tractor backhoe stored under one of those $1095 carports, set on an asphalt drive on the side of the house.

If you are in a benign climate (Hawaii, Southern California, Gulf Coast) a simple canopy should do for a while. Mainly keep the sun off.

Build a simple "pup tent" framework over the tractor. Cover with a tarp. Anchor securely along all edges. Main idea - keep the sun off your tractor.

Most important is to keep sun off of the tires or they will soon weather check.
Next is the dash area.

Thank you. I live in North Georgia. We get 4 seasons but nothing too drastic.

A carport will work fine. A portable garage / carport will work for a while if you anchor it well. For about $500 you can get a garage in a box that will hold up for quite a while.

my rk55 sets under one of those $995 carports. its 10蜘 and 21 long. it is anchored to railroad ties for heigth and to keep the wind from moving it. i also put tarps on the sides to keep rain from blowing in. it work fine. good luck
