Covering Tractor Outside

[MrWiggles2]

TL- Fordlords is south of Buffalo, I'm just a hair north, so we know snow. The Rubbermaids hold up great to pretty much anything you throw at it.

I'm considering putting up a shed, I have to see what my restrictions are, but I may do it this spring.

Yeah, it does snow there

When I was in the Navy, I spent 6 months (Jan through June) in 1986 at General Electrics Farrell Road Plant going to a factory school.

You haven't seen snow until you've seen Lake-Effect snow !

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks!

I wish I could put in a shed, but the one's I've found that are small enough to fit where I can put it (about a 7X7) don't have door openings big enough.

Need 64" or so. Biggest so far has been 60".

**** 48" deck

I wish someone made a specialized "Tractor Cubby".

It would look something like an oversized Dog Carrier, and the top would open up and back, and the front would drop down and act as a ramp. You would open it up, drive the tractor in, get out, and then raise up the back door/ramp, then put the top down and latch.

The whole thing could be done in a 6ft wide by 7ft long by 3ft high package.

No need for a carry handle though. Tractor is 1000 pounds wet

Your 40 years to to late on this.
In 1966 I built exactly what you just described to keep my new 1966 Bolens Tractor in.

No matter what you use for a shelter, put down a 6 mil plastic sheet to keep the moisture from coming up from the ground.

PS.... LB.. do you still have that 1966 Bolens? What model is it?

Yes I do.It has a front blade that i leave on it all of the time.It's an 850 model.
I also have a 1967 850 just like it I bought in june of 2005 It has a rear tiller I leave on it all the time.

I can see leaving a blade on all the time, but why the tiller? How often do you need to use the tiller? I have a HT23 with power steering, oil cooler, tiller, 54" blade, 54" mower deck, and 3 point hitch, that hasn't seen the light of day in 5 years. The Kubota is all that I need. Probably should just sell the Bolens and get it out of the barn. I sold the cab and 48" snowblower last winter.
