I have a Kioti DK45 and stored it in a 40' container for about 3 years, until this winter when I built a barn. You may be able to store a DK35 in a container with the roll bar up, but I had to lower mine. I cut a hole in the roof and installed a whirly-bird vent, and a couple vents in the sides. It still got pretty hot in summer and got condensation in rainy/wintertime. Mice got into it because I left the door open sometimes to cool it down. Containers are very secure and with it padlocked I didn't have to worry much about thieves or vandals (our land is 15 miles from town and I kept it locked tight before we moved out there). For me, the container a great temporary solution, but not permanent.

Love the pics and the information. I'm pretty sure I'll have to lower the roll bar unless I find a high cube container. The other issue are my neighbors, all very nice but not sure if they will appreciate it. Im planting trees and have lots of green growth, high reeds and such. The development ( lake property), has lot sizes from 5 acres to 12. In the covenants it prohibits pole barns (stupid), although one is being built on an off lake lot as I speak. The closest house is probably 1000' away and across the lake. I would paint and probably put some wood siding on it. I'm a little hesitant to push the pole barn issue (for now).
