To cover or not to cover?

Doc_Bob · Nov 26, 2008

I have a neighbor that I really like. Kindness guy you will ever meet. He purchased and setup an huge portable shelter for his tractor. One little problem, he never puts the tractor in the shelter. Am I missing something? Is it better to live it outside in the winter or under cover?

I would prefer inside. Maybe the tractor doesnt fit. Does he use the tractor in the winter? I see it still had the brush hog on it.

Fits in the building just fine. He built it to store the machine.He hooked up the bush hog a few months ago and never took it off He does not use it during the winter.

You are probably right.

I wonder if he wants to sell the unused shelter for cheap??????

although many ppl leave their equipment out in the weather, I keep the tractor in the garage (Luckily its a 3 car garage in a two car family LOL) and I use loose fitting canvas covers for the implements..

Good question. Every time I ask about anything he wants to sell he then says he does not want to sell. Then he wants to sell it. Then he does not want to sell it. And on and on and on. I have already asked him about the tractor and he has yet to respond. Making a decision is very hard for him. I still love him to death. Best neighbor I could ask for. Kind, caring, and a real gentlemen.
