I'd park it in the living room if I had big enough sliding doors. I keep it inside, heated right next to my truck. The way I look at it is...spend enough money on it might as well keep it in the best shape as possible. I think that it will pay off when you trade it in or sell it later. (to buy a bigger one of course)

I have a friend who parks his exotic sports cars in his living room. It then becomes "art".

My art usually has a tractor in the middle of it!:D

I like to keep the rain and and snow off the tractor and attachments in order to mimimize rust. So I keep them sheltered in a garage.

It's important to realize that the shelter doesn't have to be heated. The most important thing is to have good ventilation when you come in out of the rain or snow.

As needed, I place a fan near the tractor to allow the water to evaporate quickly or the snow to sublimate.

My tractor has never spent a night outside since the day it came home. The tractors are always inside. Tools are to be given the highest respect, learned that from my Dad as a boy. I would never waste space in the shop with a pickup. Maybe and antique or a classic but never a daily driver.Tractors and tools in the shop or barn and all the trucks outside. they already have a roof. The only time a truck sees the inside is to be worked on and out it goes

L3130 is stored outside in one of those hoop shelters next to my fishing boat. We have a 24 x 48 barn but all the space is consumed by "horse stuff".:mad:

But if you have enough storage for all, then I would assume you would use it accordingly... But yes......... Tools should be respected....

I was just thinkin' another good reason to store inside (besides all the obvious ones) is if you happen to develop even a small fliud leak you will notice it right away on your cement floor. When my tractor was new there was a small leak on one of the hydraulic fittings that left a quarter sized patch of oil on the floor. I noticed the first day it developed and it was easy to pinpoint and tighten. If it was sitting on dirt I probably wouldn't have noticed until there was oil on everything and then it would be difficult to see where it was coming from. Just a thought.
