I want to build a metal building to house my tractor and implements. Ideally I would like to have a drive thru bay that would be deep enough that I could keep my bushhog hooked up to my tractor. Then if I want to hook up to my disc, I could unhook bushhog in that bay and go to the bay where my disc is located. These are the 2 pieces of equipment that I use the most. My other implements include a box blade, a landscape rake, and a spray rig. I want to lay these other implements in such a way that I could access them, without moving the other implements. One thought I have had is do 3 bays and in the 2nd leave only the disc in it. Does any one have any recommendations? Thank you in advance.

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.
You don't mention where in the world you're even generally located so I don't know how much weather would impact on your shed. That being said, if you build your shed (whatever the configuration) with a concrete pad/floor you can drop/store your implements on wheeled pallets and easily push them into a storage position or up to the tractor for easy attachment. Space and area will be saved.
Enjoy the site.

I have that type of drive-through pole barn, but it’s “end to end” drive through. It filled up so quickly that I ended up with a straight through alley and not much remaining space on each side.
Best shop I ever saw was a traditional pole barn, but larger and with multiple doors on each side, “mirroring“ each other. That way it had multiple drive-throughs, one for each tractor with each implement hooked to it, or for truck and trailer.
That would take 10 doors and would be spendy, though.
