I would be interested in knowing how people store their implements. I have attached a picture of a lean to that is on the back of my small shed. Note that there is a fork lift undeneath the snow blade. I am able to store three attachments in a pretty small space, yet able to access them quickly. I have the other attachments in my larger shed.
I store the trencher in the loft and get it up there with a chain host. I am not real happy about this as it takes about 10 minutes of pulling on a chain to raise it into position.

Either in the loafing shed (since we don't have any horses) or outside under the trees & under a tarp. The FEL and one 3PH implement are always on the tractor which is parked in the shop. Once I get my daughter's and SIL stuff out of one of the shop bays, I will make that a dedicated tractor bay and put them in there if there's room.

I just re-arranged my shed for winter. The brush hog goes in first. The finish mower goes in with the caster wheels up on the brush hog to save space. Then the large bucket goes in up against the finish mower. In the large bucket I store the small bucket, the forks and my soil slicer. The snowplow is attached to the tractor and the tractor is backed into the shed until the rear hitch touches the buckets. The doors close against the plow with about 6 inches to spare. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think the shed is 16 feet deep, so that's pretty good. 7 implements and the tractor in a space 16 x 5. The beauty of the whole thing is the quick attach. If I need the implement that is at the back, I can unload the entire shed in less than 5 minutes without getting off the tractor.

Scattered randomly on the floor of my new Morton Building!!!

As soon as it gets regularly cold and rainy outside I plan to build-in a big workbench with shelving along one wall, and organize a nice PT area, but for now, I have too much landscaping to do on these nice warm dry days!!!

I ended up building a two story building. Lower part for the PowerTrac and attachments and the upper is my wifes potting shed.

When I first got my PT-425, I parked it in the Living Room, but I had trouble seeing the TV, and I soon tired of my wife telling me: "Wipe your bar tires before you come in!"!!

Real nice facilities 14 & PJ. I envy your available flat land!

At the moment I use a utility vehicle (Ranger/Mule size) soft cover for my 1845 and the implements just "tough it out". I am thinking about a new separate garage/shop building, but it will have to be blasted into the mountain.

Maybe next year.... after the patio and the retaining wall(s) and the....

I found it was a lot easier to put a TV and frig in the garage. Feet wiping not required.

That's one of the reasons that I built the 30 x 38 Morton Building.
