Hiya,
Ours sleeps inside all the time. In the summer, "inside" is a "garage in a box" shed out back as most of the work is in that area. In the winter, she's in a heated garage out front ready for snow patrol.
Bonus tractor geek points if you can identify the brand of both the wood splitter and the push lawnmower in the picture.
Cheers,
Tom

Not too far off topic here- how thick should I pour concrete in a garage to hold a big 37xx tractor with backhoe? Also a 2210 and pickup. Everything I read says 4" is enough, but that does not sound right.

We poured 6" for our garage and it held a small dozer (7000 pounds) just fine.

We have a Lester building with a 4" floor. The previous owner kept a vintage Greyhound bus RV conversion in the building. My Lester guys said you don't need 6" until you get to big ag/construction equipment.jdpfeffer said:

You might not need 6" until you get to the really big stuff, but around here concrete is going for ~$100/yard.
6" vs. 4" is an extra $0.62 / square foot. At that price, it just "feels better".

My tractor is stored in the barn.
If they call for snow my daughters car is placed outside and my tractor moves to the garage. After last winter here in NH I found it easier to start from the house rather than trudging thru the snow to the barn. The other advantage is that my garage is also heated....

I have owned tractors that I kept outside and it does not take long for them to deteriorate (in looks). It was pretty discouraging.
My current JD stays inside (I booted the newer and more expensive mini-van out for the time being).
