Where Do You Store Your Tractor?

/ Where Do You Store Your Tractor? #41  
The JD 820 is in the 3-car garage, with the woods RM660 rfm. That leaves either my truck ('01 GMC Sierra) or car ('04 Monte Carlo) outside, depending on the weather and which one I'm driving at the time. I bought a NOAH car cover for the MC which worked well this past winter. The car was under cover from about mid-January to the end of March. The Missus' Trailblazer occupies the third bay, that's not negotiable! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

In between bays at present is the KK 4' box blade, between the Meyer ST 7.5' snowplow that sits at the front of the middle bay and the workbench that sits in front of the Trailblazer, but the box blade is going to have to go outside on a pallet when the FEL comes off the bx 1500 for mowing, unless I can come up with some way to rearrange everything AGAIN, which I doubt.

The new bx1500 with FEL and mmm occupies the 12' x 16' storage barn I bought a few years ago for the "lawn mowers" (Cub Cadet 107, push mower, DR trimmer, etc.). The Cub Cadet is now wedged between the Woods rfm and the wall of the garage while I try to figure out if I can get it running so someone will hopefully buy it. Running or not though, it has to go.

The other implements (no-name brush-hog, two-bottom 3pt plow, kk rear blade, trailer, etc.) are unfortunately outside in the weather. There was an old shed on the property that I used to keep alot of these items out of the weather, but it deteriorated so badly that I had to tear it down a couple years ago, and I haven't replaced it yet, though I probably will someday.

You can be sure of one thing though. Even if you buy or build more storage space for your new tractor, you will always feel like you need more room. It just always seems to work out that way. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Reminds me of that old George Carlin routine; "Did you ever notice that your _hit is stuff and everybody else's stuff is _hit? And what do you do when you get too much _hit? You buy a bigger house!"

In a 10X14 shed. The ROPS clears by about 1/2 inch.

Couldn't resist posting a couple pics, guess I'm lucky as my shop is big enough for my tractor, equip trailer, and my tools. Its also heated, sheetrocked, and kinda 'house like' inside, but what the heck... its MY tractor, right? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Pic number two where my lawn tractor resides. The trailer lives in the main bay. BTW, that yellow air compressor is a 2 cyl, 2 stage Westinghouse that my dad bought brand new in 1948. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

In a two car garage in the basement of my home.
Only downside is the diesel fumes at start up...but I back the tractor out as soon as the oil pressure is up.

My 4010 with FEL and LX4 cutter fit nicely in the basement of my carriage house, which is like a "walk-out" basement of most houses around the hills of Virginia.

I can detach the LX4 and wheel it to the side on castors and park the tractor a little further back.

My 2 shredders are in this spot, too.

I touched up your pic just a bit. Not that it really needed it, but you can right click on it and save it if you want to. John

Mine lives in one of those cover-it 12X20 tarp structures beside the garage. I'm putting a lean-to style addition on the garage this summer so everything can sleep inside.

By the way, if anyone is looking for a website with some great photos of garages and barns in many different styles, check out http://www.countrycarpenters.com/index.html
Pick a style in the left hand column and click on it, then click photo gallery in the right hand side of the page. Some great photos of a lot of different styles and types, great source for ideas.

In my 40 by 60 shop building, with me. My wife and I, 2 dogs and a cat live in about 23 feet of the length, the tractor and both cars are in the rest. Other miscellaneous and sundry belongings are stored on top of the living quarters. All the implements except the one currently hooked to the tractor stay out in the weather, and it shows. I'm wondering now where I going to store my new tiller.

I'd sooner park my truck outside than the tractor. At least it has a cab.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I have a Board and banton barn style shed that was built to store my tractor and implements. The shed is 14 feet by 32 feet long. I had 2 swing doors on the front that are taller than the foldable ROPS of the B2410 that I owned. Also had the wood floor reinforced with extra lumber to support all the weight of the equipment. This shed was built by Eberly barns from Lancaster county, PA and delivered to my site by a special tilting trailer pulled by a dually pickup truck. The width was the restriction for towing on the highway but length could have been even up to 50 feet or more as I recall. I love this barn and theoreticlly can move it to another site if needed. I like that I don't have to fold down the tractor ROPS and can still use dollies for moving implements easily on the wood floor. )</font>

Nik - Can I ask what a shed/barn like that costs? That is very nice and something like that would be our ideal 'home' for our equipment (tractor, mowers, cycle).

In a 24x30x10 garage I had built last summer to specifically store the tractor and boat. Went with a 9x16 garage door and the tractor rolls right in with out having to mess with the ROPS. To make it palatable to the CEO, I had to carve out an 8x8 darkroom for her. Still leaves me plenty of room for a work area and storage, but it's filling up fast! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
