Do You Have a Tractor Shed/Barn?

[rockinbbar]

I do have a drive through tractor shed for my tractors, and a more closed barn for my welding trailer and CTL.

Have to admit that if everything is dusty, I'm prone to pull them all out to get washed off by an impending rain though.

I've not built anything to house my implements yet... That would take quite a bit of cover to put a roof over harrows, discs, batwing cutters, and on and on...

What do you guys use? (If anything)

Back in 2020 or 2021 (time flies), I decided to get some closed storage on the remote propriety so I didn't have to haul my machines back and forth all the time.

The plan was to set up two 20 ft containers. I would spread them out and then build a roof joining both. Well, this was peak COVID price craziness, I was asked 1750€ for a single 20 ft container. This was more than double the price of a container in the year before and I needed two of them.

I abandoned that plan. Then I started searching for some used materials. Ended up scoring some thick 4" C channel and metal shingles for the roof and sides for a very good price. I had to but new metal girts and purlins but that was ok.

All in all, I put a much better building up, with much more usable space, for less than 3000€.

It's about 36 ft by 20 ft. Of course, as with any building, it's already full and I'm working on some shelves along the side to give so I can fill it even more.

I actually build this building at home, then took it all apart and hauled it to the remote propriety. I would like to paint it too, eventually.

My tractor is small so it sits in the garage at our house. There is a single car garage separate from our house that holds most of my implements.

Built it out at the property. We leave the equipment out there most of the year.

Got a warm room for the winter time. Small 12x12 insulated room with a wood burner and concrete floor.

Old quonsen hut, used to be used for drying and sorting tobacco, added a loft for hay storage, cut some of it out for a ladder to feed animals....now I cut it up for her bed

No dust gets on anything except the firewood in the open ended woodshed across the back.

Two 40' containers, 24' between them and a truss roof. Kinda redneck, but works great.

Yes! Insulated 40x60 with 10' door.

CFL: Is it big enough? Is it a Morton Building?

Nope. Amish built Graber Post. Very happy with it!

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

I have a nice 40x60 steel barn for the tractor. PTO implements reside outside under a carport, and blades and plows reside outside.

I have a 120 year old barn. The tractor part of the barn is about 17' wide and 30' long. I can fit the tractor and implements except for the backhoe in there.

Any pics jyoutz?

I’m traveling so I have to post them when I return.

OK Be safe on your journey and remember “no posting and driving”.

Good advice. Sitting in motel room now.

I think I’m getting shed/barn envy
This was an old screen house I built 1985ish, converted to tractor storage 2006.

I recently purchased my grandparents 80 acres with no utilities or water. The barn fell in 20 years ago and the house has slowly been doing the same. There is an equipment shed where the old farmalls were stored, and it is in pretty bad shape, but keeps my tractor out of the weather for now. Looking at putting up a 30x40 steel building on gravel to house tractors and some implements, along with a bunch of hunting equipment (tree stands, blinds, etc)

Interested in the container building pics also.

 

[steve tym]

Sounds kinda cool. Popular idea in Southern Utah. I’ve driven by several. Any pics?

Pics, yeah. Do I know how to post them? Nope.
