Where do you park/store your tractor?

[Crank Shaft]

When not in use, I park my tractor in a carport with a gravel floor. It's a Kubota B2320 that I bought new in 2014. I am starting to notice quite a bit of rust on the tractor and am wondering if this is normal for being storing on a dirt floor, or has Kubota paint quality gone downhill.

Would love to hear how you all store your tractors and your issues & solutions to rusting or preventing rust.

30x60 insulated barn. It's never seen a drop of moisture since it came off the truck.

Man, I wish I had something like that. Do you get snow there?

I park one in my 56x40 barn and two in my 40x30 barn. Both have cement floors.

Yessir. Not a lot, but we will have 12" on the ground most winters

Thanks. Any issue with snow melt coming off the tractor when stored?

Mine was stored in a garage for its first 8 years, and the last 2 in a pole barn with concrete floor.
My last 2 tractors got all exposed steel clear coated when new, and they didn't rust at all.

I don't really need it in the snow. To be honest. 12" doesn't impact us that much

Under a shed roof on the side of a barn on some thin gravel. It's a 2011 and no rust so far. Is yours getting wet and not drying for some reason? Or maybe you just got one with a bd paint job.My problem is keeping mice out of it. They have chewed up the dash wiring twice.

For 12 years when we lived in Maine, it was kept in a fabric Quonset hut with a gravel floor, for the last 2 years in Virginia, it has been kept under a carport with a concrete floor. So far, no sign of rust. But if I ever washed it... then I might see some.
