Storing implements outside

[bullbreaker]

All my equipment sleeps inside. Except my Servis E3WM rear blade,50 years young!(Iam 2nd owner).Tough old guy never slept inside a day in his life. .Ive only seen one other and that one came with a tailwheel.Besides exterior elements,security can sometimes be an issue!

I put a Carolina Carport in 24' x 26' it cost about $5200 and with a concrete pad cost was another grand and had cocrete pouring party which went great!It's 12'6" tall at the peek with 2 9'x8' roll doors.They can put it on dirt ,gravel ,concrete or what ever you want that's level.I decided for my property that I needed that and now my Tractor from Barlow's will be here Saturday,just wanted to keep it and the implements out of the elements and safe.

I have a 21x24x9 Carolina Carport on the way, but I am skipping the concrete floor and front doors. We have several on other properties and have been pleased with them.

My uncle has a JD 4400 something like 98-00 model? Any way sat out since day one. Now he has a shed but only puts it under like half the time (sheds only a year or so old. The tractor is trashed, cant read the end of the gear shifts as they have rotted away the lining on the canopy fell out years ago and was torn out, the seat looks horrible even though there is a canopy and the plastic on these "new DEERES" has cracked. the crack is like 14''s long. If i paid that kind of money there is no way i would not at least buy one of those "$695 carports set up included" to park my tractor and as many implements as would fit under. Im almost disgusted at what his 10-12 year old $25K deere looks like now.

I keep my tractor under a carport and as many implements under sheds as will fit, trailor too. weather dosent help anything you know.

I wish I'd taken a picture of mine... High wind, one bolt broke, started flapping, and that was all she wrote. Destroyed in a big bad way. As luck would have it, all was under it was the bush hog. Shelter Logic 10 x 20..

Hey bxowner, if you've got the room, I can recommend this 12 X 20 (they've also some smaller ones, 10 X 10 etc.) storage shed by Shelter Logic very highly:

ShelterLogic 12Ft.W Peak Style Garage-in-a-Box 20ft.L x 12ft.W x 8ft.H, Model# 62790 | House Style | Northern Tool + Equipment

I've had mine up for 1 1/2 years now (been through two winters), and it's as good as the day I put it up. Tractor Supply had them on sale last week for $229, but they're regularly $350. The covering is not at all like a plastic tarp, it's an altogether different and superior material. Has held up to high winds and heavy snows.

Here's a couple of threads I posted when I put it up:

Initially I thought I'd keep it up for a couple years. Now I'm thinking why not 5 years, so I just put a plywood floor in...very cool.

With the money I'm saving I just bought another tractor.

It's cheap and fairly easy to upgrade anchors, bolts and cables during installation. For $30-40 I improved the whole system to the point where I'm confident it will easily last another 2 years until a location that I've filled in has settled/compacted enough to build my barn on. Admittedly though, these things are a temporary storage solution.
