I like that!
I'm probably gonna have to do something like that in my new shed. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Here's how I stack my garage...
First, the plow goes up against the back wall.
Then the brush hog goes flat on the floor up to the plow.
The finish mower is set so the front wheels are on top of the brush hog.
Next goes the large bucket.
Inside the large bucket is the small bucket.
Inside the small bucket is the forks and my slicing attachment.
Then the tractor goes in with the lift arms over the buckets.
The whole setup takes up 60" wide by about 16' deep.
I tried shelves, but after ripping them down a few times, I gave up and just stack them this way.
In winter, I put the plow on the tractor and back it into the garage. With the plow on, it takes up 17' instead of 16' due to the loader arms not being up over anything.

NJBill,
I am going to try to build a similar set of shelves for some of my attachments.
How much space did you leave above your attachments to be able to use tilt, to the quick attach and still get them in and out without tearing up the shelves?

Jeff, Sorry for the longwinded reply, remember I have a 422, not quite as much height as yours.
First helf for the LM Bucket 24 ins deep, upper shelf for Forks and Mini-hoe, 36 ins deep.
Height from floor to upper edge of shelf 29 1/2 ins.
From that point to the same point on the top shelf 22 1/2 ins.
Since 2 x 4's are 3 1/2 ins that leaves 26 ins for the Mower and 19 ins for the LM Bucket. My lift and tilt limits are just enough to allow me to insert and secure the adapter plate into either unit.
Lot's of luck, install plenty of good vertical support, and learn to treat the operation as if you were handling a baby, these P T's are powerful monsters.

Thanks for the dimensions.
I am planning on starting on my shelves/Rack this weekend.

Actually, I use a chain host to host my trencher up to a loft in my tool shed. I don't use this attachment much, so I haul it up there and then a neighbor is bound to call and want a trench dug.
A chain on the brush cutter, hum. I will have to give that some thought. You could lift it up with the pt and then attach the chains.
Enjoy the PT425,
