One thought you may want to consider as you design the garage: There may be times when you want to lift an implement, remove an engine, or partially lift that mower deck so that you can remove and sharpen the blades. A hoist comes in very handy for this purpose. One of the bays could be spanned by a heavy duty lifting beam, supported by strong support posts at each end. You could then place a chain hoist or an electric hoist in the center of the beam. This would allow you to lift implements and set them on dollies, remove an engine, or access those blades for sharpening.
I have a 3 car garage. The BX stays in one of the bays as well as all of my implements which are on dollies. When I need to change implements, the 2 cars come out which leaves plenty of room for rolling the dollies around. This is especially helpful for rolling the MMM under the tractor. It is so much easier to attach implements to the 3ph when they are on dollies that can roll on a smooth concrete floor. If you can afford it, I'd highly recommend having a large enough floor to store implement dollies and roll them to the 3ph.
