tractor shelter

Yes, that would work, but the cost in our area for even a small Sea shipping container is $2K. I had thought about that myself for my need.

Think how much a yard barn of equal size is though. Makes a container look good lol. Plus still stronger, and fireproof. Just not as cosmetically appealing.

I had looked at sea cans and found that they are $2,500.oo F.O.B. toronto and I would still have to move one to here. 175 miles north of Toronto. The cost of the can + the move would buy me 4 Shelter Logic shelters. That is the way I am going. I am going to get another big SUV one for my little suv and then the one the heep is in now can go as a place for the summer/winter toys.

How big a shelter will I need for the L3200 with a loader? I'm just looking for something to get me through this winter.

How well do those Shelter Logics handle snow load?
Looks like it would shed the snow pretty well.
That might just be a very good solutuion for me.
I'm sort of on the fence between the Shelter Logic & the seabox, myself.
How hot do those seaboxes get in the Summer sun?

My shelter logic SUV garage that I keep the Kioti in sheds snow real good. A little puff of wind and the snow goes. If no wind, when I go out to start the tractor while it is warming up I use the handle end of my chute poker and swat the underside of the roof.....The snow leaves. No muss, no fuss. And no aggravation.

It looks to be no bigger than my CK27 and that is in a SL SUV garage. Height of the cab/rops is the thing that you need to worry about for getting in the doorway.

Before I built my shop and machine shed, I parked my old tractor in a shelter from Costco, which was similar to a Shelter Logic. Here on the coast, things have a way of blowing away, so I used 2 heavy ratchet straps to secure the tractor to the roof frame tubing. Worked great for a year or so. I reasoned that if it was that windy, probably the tractor would be inside it anyway...Dan.

Does it need to be anchored to the ground? The ground is frozen.

you can tie it to whats parked in it for a short term solution.

both of my tractors have always been sheltered under Gods canopy. yes it would have been nice to have a building to put them in, and in extreme cold below 0F I will park in the shop so I can get started easer, but normally do not have room for normal storage, and with implement connected most would not fit,
and both are 40 plus years old and from what I can tell the weather has not hurt them besides some faded paints,

The main reason for mine to be in a shelter is for the tires. I am also a tad lazy and don't like cleaning the snow off.
