Do You Have a Tractor Shed/Barn?

Concrete floor is a big plus…

Brother spent a lot renovating his 1850 dirt floor barn.

Everything inside gets covered with a layer of trust in no time.

His small shed was like that until he concreted the floor.

This was when I got the tractor in 2020, It was quick and easy to build. Not really cheap but at the time cheaper than anything else and I could move it easily. The 2x10's across the bottom were placed so the weight of the tractor kept it from moving in the wind.

Then a couple years ago I was finally able to add on to the shop.

I've got a 8' x20 steel carport. I'm able to store my forest winch and grapple along the side in the winter.

We have a 30x40 Barn/Shed/Shop - BSS for short. We intended a pole barn when design was planned in Feb of 2020. When the work started in June, we soon learned - no poles for you. Top of mountains tend to be pretty rocky. A foundation had to be built. There goes the budget.

We thought 30x40 - would be plenty of space:

Three years later:

Time to build another?

This building was on the property when we bought it 40 years ago, it's a 24x36 pole building from Western Farmers COOP. It's not real fancey but gets the job done, our JD lawn tractor is stored in the lean-to on the left.

Never could understand why folks don't make an effort to shelter their equipment, it represents a significant investment. I for one am not made of money!

Depends on your climate and quality of finish on your equipment.
A high percentage of automobiles spend their entire time without shelter.

For the moment my tractor lives in one of these....

I have the round top version of this at the moment. I'm talking with a local contractor about putting a 25x20 enclosed lean-to on the side of an existing 32x44 barn to store the tractor/implements in.

My neighbor’s tractor has sat out for ten years. It looks like it’s 30 years old: paint is chalky white, plastics are cracking, and seat is rotted off so there’s just the steel pan remaining.
